Critical Response<\/span><\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text]\"Four
\n\u201cI really Loved this production\u2026Nothing in this space is comfortable. But everything has impact. Everything is beautiful but nothing is pretty. It shows women unveiled from the male gaze. It shows us. \u201d What did she think?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe performances from Brooks and Carton are nothing short of magnificent\u201d My Melbourne Arts<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are sequences of inspired brilliance here\u201d Stage Whispers<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a keen eye on detail, Cygnets delves into the complexities of relationships between women. It is an interpretative, feminist piece that makes one think and feel.\u201d The Blurb[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_custom_position=”yes” position_top=”minus-6x” width=”1\/3″ tablet_sm_width=”hide” mobile_width=”hide” css=”.vc_custom_1659871073768{padding-top: 1rem !important;padding-right: 1rem !important;padding-bottom: 1rem !important;padding-left: 1rem !important;}” z_index=”0″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top_multiplier=”3x” padding_bottom_multiplier=””][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1650695025244{margin-left: 3rem !important;}”]
