Reformer is a play about one woman's insatiable appetite for dominance and control.

    A brilliant and necessary addition to the cannon of women ensemble plays! This play, while devoid of physical violence, is bloody, guttural, and churning, providing a grueling but empathetic critique of new-age-type-wellness-spaces. Herron's craft especially shines in her exploration of Kim and Ariel's mother-daughter relationship: the mother's hurt, the daughter's desperation for distance, and the subliminal lure of proximity to whiteness as Ariel becomes intoxicated by Amethyst's influence.

    An incredible mix of highly theatrical and painfully realistic. The audience gets sucked into Amethyst's antics as easily as the other characters, giving us a terrifying view into the development of a cult. The characters would all be a blast to play for any actor and I'm dying to see someone design the studio. There is so much to this play, I can hardly say enough. Each watch or view would highlight something completely different and spawn new conversation about how the self relates to others.

    Hilarious. Poignant. Terrifying. Real. Magnificent. Exhilarating. Herron's language and characters are captivating, human, and hilarious. Your mouth will remain open the whole show, because you're either laughing or gasping the entire play. Amethyst is such a delicious villain and protagonist. Wow.

    Please produce this play, every pilates sequence is such a spectacle that I desperately want to see staged.
