” This play represents another kind of utopia, one that lies wrapped in its plot. It’s the idea that a little girl can have actual influence on patriarchal power structures. It’s the idea that politicians might prioritize tomorrow’s voters rather than today’s.
It’s mostly women who do the work of showing us how a utopia like this might look. How Jennifer Rider-Shaw can sing like that and dance like that while wearing shoes like that will inspire awe in the feet of anyone who has ever worn heels.”
