REVIEWS:
"A blazingly original play [...] marvel at how close what you see cuts to the bone."
The New York Times
"I have seen the future, and it is Dance Nation."
The Washington Post
"If you were ever a 13-year-old girl, Clare Barron's daring, raw Dance Nation will probably hit you hard [...] It's a brave, visceral, excitingly off-kilter barbaric yawp of a play. And it gets at something excruciatingly tender: the burden of modesty on young American women."
New York Magazine
2018, Almeida Theatre, London
