“Julia Jarcho’s new play is a squirmy, sinister meditation on female desire, with a whiff of ancient Greece.” *Critics Pick*
—Alexis Soloski, The New York Times
“Minor Theater’s show is an eerily precise, joyfully bloody discourse on how female lust pits the ugly against the beautiful in a ceaseless death match.”
—Julia May Jonas, Culturebot
Teen girls experiment with sex, magic and murder while mom sinks deep into lust and self-loathing. A teen-drama riff on Racine’s Phèdre, Minor Theater’s PATHETIC invites you to get off on the sick horrors of becoming a woman.
