This compact piece has so much to say about the often fraught relationship between our bodies and our inner selves, the incompetence and sexism of a medical system that specifically denies women's accounts of their own lived experience, and the challenges faced by people with undefinable conditions. The use of the Body as a separate character is an inventive theatrical device that expresses what so many people feel in a brilliant fashion and yields surprisingly poignant moments. With all that, it is also often laugh-out-loud funny.
