10 Virgins by Laura Jacqmin

"A dark, feminist fairy tale which constantly undercuts assumptions about women... It remains intellectually stimulating, highly theatrical and consistently absorbing... The idea of looking at women from a perspective that is both modern and mythic is a fascinating one."

"10 Virgins harks back to the old Brothers Grimm days of fairy tales, in a time before the saccharine adaptations of Disney and company. ...Hits at the heart of good storytelling. Accessible, yet insightful, it provides a world in which you wouldn't mind getting swept away."

"A starkly human story arises when the eldest, following a feverish dream, dances a sinuous pas de deux with the mossy witch of the swamp. Lovely imagery and lustrous language."

"In terms of sheer stagecraft, Chicago Dramatists' world premiere production directed by Russ Tutterow could not be more seductive."

"10 Virgins reveals a young writer with a strong vision [and] a powerful sense of metaphor... This is, most assuredly, a distinctive drama... The writing remains consistently intriguing."
