A spokesperson says---
“...fainting couch is a 55-minute theatrical piece that follows “Lady K,” a young woman sent to the seaside for her health after a mysterious illness. What begins as a familiar portrait of feminine fragility gradually unravels into something far stranger — and more defiant. Drawing on the lived experience of a queer woman coming of age in a disabled body, the piece challenges the cultural mythology of the “sick woman” with humor, theatricality, and rebellion..."
