"Do you know the rules? You must always follow the rules."
Too Ready Mirror is about sex and power. It is about performing. It is about succumbing. It is about resisting. 
Three overlapping worlds and four trapped women. In 17th century London, Nell pleases audiences and the King to keep her place. In present day Melbourne, Ruby performs for camera clicks and the love of Mars. In the future, the Institution tells Lily and Alma to be good girls, to stay safe and never escape.
"...///Too Ready Mirror/// zings along, fusing three worlds into one..." Cameron Woodhead, The Age.
"It’s a play that makes visible a web of labile connections between gender, sex and class, and points to the ways in which these constrain our everyday behaviours and interactions." Andrew Fuhrmann, Realtime.
"...an incredible feat of theatrical wonderment..." Jessi Lewis, Melbourne Critique.
“I think we’re trained from so young to view the world through a male lens that when we’re presented with an alternate view it seems foreign. I hope we can move away from the notion that the straight, white male perspective is the norm and start seeing a myriad of perspectives on our stages, screens, and in generalâ€. Jamaica Zuannetti, 2017.
