After wowing audiences around the world with her last tour-de-force, she is back with her latest creation, even bigger, even better and even more brilliant (we don’t know how she does it, but she does). This new show has all the ingredients: new characters, sublime monologues, an elegant and subtle set design and provocative reflections on controversial topics.
