  • ELEVATOR GIRL
    13 Aug. 2017
    Elevator Girl wisely uses the fun and topical structure of comic book superheroes to discuss the much less fun topic of sexual assault. The play creates thought-provoking parallels between real-life rape culture and the comic-within-the-play, and although it definitely has a point of view, it never feels preachy. I saw the play as a staged reading and the potent visual elements, inspired by comic book art, were already captivating; in a full production the lighting/costumes/stage design could bring the world of Elevator Girl to a whole new level.
