"Using a spare stage and
pastiche deconstruction, Jucha and company serve up a Hitchcock-style murder
mystery set in a nunnery, mixing up The Wizard of Oz, the Singing
Nun, and the aesthetics of film noir. Irony mixes quite well with sex,
death, spiritualism, and the Via company's inspired ensemble work. Women
In Black comes across as a stylistic tour-de-force, much in the manner
of the Ridiculous Theater or Bloolips-style outrageousness" -
