It is an immediate, joyous rush of entertainment that shows how patriarchal deconstruction and women's agency can be as playful as they are pointed, ensuring these remarkable women will be remembered for far more than a single nursery rhyme. Roll up your green sleeves, and get ready to be a part of Herstory.' Says Dominic

'While this play is a darkly comic work of fiction about a woman who meets her fav celeb in Costa, some elements of it are extremely personal to my own experience of loneliness and the need for connection in the world we’re living in. I wrote this play as a response to this ever increasingly digital world we’ve created, where we have never been more connected to each other but also where it is extremely easy to feel alone.'

'One thing that must be praised is playwright Gina Gionfriddo and Sam Jackson’s careful portrayal of Jame Gumb…Jackson is able to combine this suave nature with a short temper and a well-maintained physical portrayal that is haunting, as a genuinely new and possibly improved portrayal of Buffalo Bill.'
