"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" - Theater Week
