The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies

The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies Meg Whiteford $14.95 Honey, our protagonist, is on the run from both her past and her present; avoiding questions about love, bodies, language, and the extents of all three. But her friends—the impish Maenads—refuse to just let her escape. The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies is a feminist, queer, maximalist piece—spanning caves, hills, courtrooms, and kitchens—about a woman torn by her desires, unwilling to bend to the needs of men, yet hesitant in the face of her wildness.   Full-length, Comedy / Tragedy, Immersive Cast: 5W, 1M Cover Design by Adriana Lafarga    PRAISE Meg Whiteford, a bold new voice, moves us forward by returning us to a theatre that isn't afraid of dramatic poetry, shapeshifting characters, plots motored by comic metamorphoses, and endings vibrating with tragic loss. She is a 21st century risk-taker, inspired by the daredevil predecessors that startled previous centuries into recognizing the stage as a fluid dream. —Charles McNulty
