My overall impression

This is a kinky, driven, sandbox-style SRO piece made for a black box theatre. Director Angela Lopez and her core collaborators Kyle Johnston (Ghost), Angel Correa (Hamlet), and Emily Josephine (Ophelia/Elektra) have conjured forth a wicked hour that pulls in smart immersive techniques in service of a piece that mixes physical theatre with sharp, un-cloying agitprop. They even make giving permission to the audience to keep their cellphones out and documenting into something far more than a damn marketing gimmick. It becomes essential.
