'Nowadays it’s probably harder not to see porn than to actually see it… Jessie-Wren Jacob’s This Porno Does Not Pass the Bechdel Test takes this concept of easy access and runs amok with it. Jacobs’ writing cleverly leads us through this debate about porn. It builds slowly and subtly, until suddenly we are confronted with some uncomfortable truths, especially about how limits are constantly being pushed to keep a paying audience engaged.” - ★★★★ Check out Everything Theatre's full review of the preview performance Here!
