Woman on Fire Reviews

MD Theatre Guide- Recommended

"...Visually striking and emotionally charged, the show blends political drama, spiritual reckoning, and ghost story. A gauze screen cleverly separates the physical world from the spectral one, with figures moving in eerie silhouettes just behind the veil. Whenever the ghost of Paola (Lenny Mendez) appears, there?s a sharp flicker of light and a jarring sound cue?less jump scare and more spiritual twitch, like the room itself is reacting to the presence of unresolved grief."

DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended

"...A ghost haunts the stage from the opening moments of Woman on Fire. And yet, she is not the only spectre lurking in this Arizona border town. Set in the shadow of the September 11 terror attacks in a country charged with trauma and paranoia, Marisela Trevi?o Orta's masterful ghost story explores the intersection between border politics and identity, while entreating its audience to reclaim their empathy."
