"Young Jean Lee’s “Untitled Feminist Show” is one of the more moving and imaginative works I have ever seen on the American stage. Its gravity is spiritual and not entirely intellectual, even though the seventy-five-minute piece grew out of all sorts of ideas, including the gender politics that Lee and her astonishing all-female six-member cast, who perform nude, (sometimes literally) pull out of their asses. I don’t mean to suggest that the show is without humor. In fact, part of what makes it so transcendent is its delicious ability to alternate the pain of being different with a sense of humor about lives not lived among the status quo. But that doesn’t mean these women have never had any truck with tradition. One of the stories the piece tells is about fairy tales, a genre that, in the past, certainly, only reinforced female stereotypes—woman as knowing gnome, as destructive witch, and so on—and that, in all probability, these castmates have absorbed and believed about themselves, not to mention other women, at one time or another."
