An allegorical tale for the #MeToo movement. This surrealist drama centers on the longtime partnership of renowned and controversial artist, Blue Godrey, and her seamstress and better half, Vell. On this day in Blue's studio, last-minute preparations are underway for a big art exhibit at Tate Modern but there is disagreement over the focal piece, a large black mourning dress. Everyone is being quite civil until a woodpecker flies into the studio, sending Vell into a bottle of gin and Blue completely off the rails, pecking away at Lorraine, the new apprentice. The play examines the intersectionality of art as a sociopolitical construct and the traditionally-complicit pathways many traverse to maintain the status quo for the promise of success.
