Synopsis

“We must be the women of the future standing here in this bathroom because we look like sex and power, we look like sex and power, and you don’t even know it, standing there in that motherfucking pantsuit.”

Jeanine is determined to improve her life.

With sex.

With dance.

With new hobbies, like horticulture.

But self-improvement is hard.

Reclaiming your dreams is hard.

And personal hygiene is really, really hard.

Press Reviews

"Strength and fragility dance side by side: sex games empower and then suddenly frighten; drunken nights liberate and later depress; expressions of love explode magically and quickly fade to nothing."

— The Guardian

"Nothing short of electric."

— The Upcoming

"Thrusts itself upon the audience with a near-reckless openness."

— Broadway World
