On the Evolutionary Function of Shame

Engrossing, starkly funny, inventive and beautifully rendered. I saw a production of this provocative play at Columbia. Mindell nimbly keeps turning challenging questions around and around again, spiraling closer to truth. All of the characters were rendered fully dimensional and complex. I also really appreciated the centering of a pregnant trans man. Beautiful work.

A dryly funny but ultimately heartbreaking plunge into the rabbit hole of a head-spinning "what if". Mindell is a sharp, smart writer who writes from deep in the gut, and I am forever grateful that he is. Shoutout to Margot for being such an icon.
