Three women from different centuries meet in a modern doctor's waiting room ...
Forgiveness From Heaven, is an eighteenth-century Chinese woman whose bound feet are causing her to lose her toes
Victoria is a nineteenth-century tightly corsetted Englishwoman suffering what is commonly known as "hysteria"
Then there is Wanda, is a modern gal from New Jersey who is having problems with her silicone breasts
Husbands, doctors, Freud, the drug industry, and the FDA all come under examination
The play is a wild ride through medical and sexual politics, including the politics of the ever-present battle with breast cancer
"... invigorates as it astonishes. How did Ms Loomer ... ever come up with a piece that's so crazy, so brutal, so logical and so satisfying? For that matter, when was the last time any play moved you enough to ask that question?" ~ NY Times
