Kate Radford is a revelation. Her one-woman show is emotional, gorgeous, specific, lyrical and intense. She blends intelligent prose and rhyme with a fabulous and deeply melodious use of voice. It was hypnotic and really almost mystical. I highly recommend this show. ... full review

You have one more chance to this regal being. GO! ... full review

I wanna do it again. ... full review

This show was, point blank, amazing! The music was its own character in the poignant storytelling of Cainus. The unique musical looping in with the point being made-that so many females feel it would be easier to be a man in this world, and how that’s not okay. The story itself is a great, thought-provoking and emotional tale, but the music and singing added to it makes it 1000x more palpable.... full review
