The first thing you need to know if you plan on seeing Horse is that there are no washrooms. The second thing you need to know is that is because the show takes place in an alley. And yes, you really should plan on seeing it.
It’s always brave to do a site specific piece, you never know what the weather is going to be like (we were lucky) or if there will be any disruptions from people walking by (we were not so lucky) but thankfully the show and the actors are so captivating that it is pretty hard to be distracted by anything other than what is going on right in front of you.

Suicide(s) in Vegas is the story of two women; the successful, larger-than-life, Suze Orman-like author and self-help guru Lydia (Elinza Pretorius) and the ho-hum, average-Jane toll booth collector Jane (Amber Green).
