What Every Girl Should Know
Monica Byrne
The Convent
by Jessica Dickey
Synopsis
A group of women go on a retreat to live like nuns in the Middle Ages and are baptized with '80s pop, female mysticism, hallucinogens and sex.
The Convent is a toothy dark comedy about desire, devotion, and the mystery of intrinsic divinity.
Press Reviews
"Dickey's commitment to big feels is commendably unflinching." - New Yorker"A new, gorgeously lyrical work by Jessica Dickey." - Splash Magazines"Dickey adds just enough poetry to catch your ear, just enough feminist rage to get your heart beating, and just enough blunt wit to ensure we take all this so-called wisdom with a grain of salt."
— Theatermania
