Thought-provoking, Relevant, Great staging, Absorbing

See it if you want to see a beautiful piece of classic Black feminist theatre that stays relevant; you want to see a fantastic cast

Don’t see it if you're not interested in a piece that's more spoken word poetry than plot-driven theatre; you're triggered by discussions of sexual violence
