What did I love best? Bible verses woven with the lyrics of Bowie andMeatloaf? Stutters of privilege choking on "please" and "sorry"?Death by drowning toman-splainers?

This show is like a really good acid trip that suggests post-apocalyptic hope is possible.- Shawna Dempsey

Gender bender casting keeps the vitriol focused: abuse of power is what is at issue here.Actor Kelsey Wavey's character, at turns the teenageinmate of a residential school and the rebellious daughter of an evilqueen, powerfully grounds the kaleidoscope.

This show is like a really good acid trip that suggests post-apocalyptic hope is possible: maybe humanitycansave itself. If so, we'll all stand proud in our satin slips and smeared makeup. If so, likezahgidiwin/love, it'll be a hell of a ride.
