“It’s not exactly news that the adolescent female body is sexualised in popular culture and that young women are treated as objects rather than subjects. It’s deeply unsettling to witness evidence that these same young women are highly aware of this, though. Rather than protesting that objectification, they here produce a nightmarish burlesque that amplifies it to an excruciating point.”
JOHN BAILEY

“It’s a big ‘Take that!’ to the male gaze, as is this modern response to the play, performed by a troupe of teenage girls. Adena Jacobs and Aaron Orzech lead these young performers into the fever-dreams of the women on the mountain (largely related in Euripides by men) in a strange commingling of the mythic and the mundane that transgresses every kind of expectation of what girls are or might or should be.”
CAMERON WOODHEAD, THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

"Jacobs is one of the hot new talents of Australian theatre – her work austerely intelligent and elegant, generating a potent emotional force."
ALISON CROGGON, THE GUARDIAN
