PRESS
“… Tosha Fowler plays Benita with the gritty assurance of a professional in the sex trade, enjoying every moment of conquest and relishing in even the most terrifying clients and circumstances. Brad Fraser’s darkly disturbing drama…will titillate and traumatize, frighten and fascinate: theatergoers won’t be able to look away or stop thinking about this production, long after the final curtain.” – Colin Douglass, Chicago Theatre Review
“… Tosha Fowler’s dominatrix-seer is an otherworldly creation of balls-out acting. With a topnotch cast, fearless direction, fierce violence choreography and high production values, Cor’s production makes a siren call for the type of slick, dangerous, brilliantly written Chicago theater that birthed Chicago’s national theatrical reputation.” –Aaron Hunt, New City
” kinetic excitement generated by an ensemble as athletically impressive as it is verbally agile. The results make for a smartly constructed morality fable of wayward pilgrims discovering the error of obsessive egotism as well as the vows to love honestly and wisely.” -Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times
“…Cor’s production is done well… Fowler’s Benita is vivacious and funny, but frighteningly blasé about brutality..” -Jacob Davis, ChicagoCritic
