the girl with no hands

A revisioning of a tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm

"The Girl With No Hands... explores the formulation of stories through a revelatory re-examination of one specific Grimm tale. Deconstructing suspect oral traditions, mixed messages and fractured truths, this intelligent, articulate production is a must-see if only for Talya Rubin's captivating performance. Absolutely inhabiting all of her many characters on stage, Rubin brings subtlety, grace and buckets of skill to this unique one-woman show. Also featuring an exquisite, inventive, minimal set, this is as good, interesting, and unforgettable as anything I've ever seen at any Fringe fest. It's unique and brilliant and not to be missed. 5/5" — Hour, June 15, 2006
