“The most unusual piece of the evening, at least in terms of tone, was Wendy Gough Soroka’s Grace, directed by Emily Grimany. One part violent murder (before the play begins), one part sexual abuse trauma, and one part sisters bonding in a fierce fashion, it makes manifest the image of a dark and bloody ground and boldly merges it with women’s empowerment. Louisa Frey and Rachel Street are both very good here.”
