Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Womb, described by Co Theatre, the production company behind the work, as “an absurd play about the absurd things women that women have been going through since the beginning of the world” achieves precisely that. With each scene, the characters discover more ways in which women are subjucated by this world that was designed by and for men.

Rodoplu’s intentionally opaque dialogue feels like poetry, heightened by its ability to connect the audience to the themes at play. While the production could easily feel inaccessible due to its absurd style, Rodoplu does an excellent job ensuring that ideas are clearly laid out, aided by a plethora of props, quips, stories, and deft physical theatre.
