It boasts an eclectic mix of poetry, dance and subtle humour, all of which act in questioning the issue of gender roles and expectations in contemporary Britain. Dorman-Gajic uses her words precisely and intelligently to hone in on chapters of female upbringing and her own personal but entirely relatable experiences. She adopts the roles of various characters to reinforce the belittlement and condescension placed on modern girls. This, in turn, is complemented by her dancers which weave into the storyline perfectly to provide abstract support to her acting, with both their body movements and their facial expressions.
This show makes a man want to call his mother, sister, girlfriend or daughter as soon as he leaves it and tell them he loves them. It makes a woman feel safe, at home and spoken for. It brought a tear to my eye. It is a triumph.
