    A brilliant meditation on modern womanhood. Loved what this play has to say about the objectification of women and the violence they face. This play has a lot to say about spirituality and the human connection with nature. I would love to see a production of this. There is lots of potential for stage magic in this play. Can't wait to see what a scenic, lighting and sound designer can do with this play. The stage direction is so imaginative and kept me on the edge of my seat.

The story engages with the experience of inhabiting the world in a perceived-as-female body. All of the characters are open to cis and trans women and non-binary actors. Pronouns can be flexible to suit the actor.
