This darkly humorous and sexually graphic one-woman show asks: what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve fullness in life? Originally produced produced in Stockholm, the play was adapted into the film 'Pure.' More…
Katarina is a restless, beautiful young woman who is trapped in a mundane daily routine and a passionless relationship. She meets Adam, a celebrated conductor at a prestigious opera house and climbs the social ladder in search of an enlightened, heightened, and pure reality. 'Beloved' depicts the challenges of a modern woman in search of herself and the shifting power dynamic that exists between Katarina and a successful older man that she admires. Is this a passionate love affair or a brutal game of power, gender and class?
See it if You want to see a one person show that’s NOT an autobiographical show. A fun story, a little hard to follow at times.
Don't see it if You want a seamless show. Not sure if the trouble comes from the translation or actor error but some points were confusing or uneven.
See it if If you like a deep show that lies even deeper beneath the surface. Good directing and acting as well as sound.
Don't see it if If you dont wsnt to think. This show will get past a passive viewer. Very thought provoking.
See it if you want a current take on love with many perspectives shared by an enthusiastic actress in a solo performance. Great classical music.
Don't see it if you want to hear every word spoken. I missed much from row H due to a soft voice and some background music.
See it if OK with fearless actress portraying woman on the edge & sliding to madness over an affair. Billed as dark comedy, but I found it just dark.
Don't see it if Don't like solo shows, acted-out descriptions of graphic sex, or annoyed if actor plays constantly with hair. Edgy, odd, unresolved plot.
Also Despite my lowish score, I did stay absorbed with the story (until the... Read more Read less

See it if you like to be challenged. This is a story about a young woman and the choices she makes -- most of which are not good.
Don't see it if you don't like solo performances. Or if you want clear, concise storytelling. This one is very messy with unexpected twists & turns.
Also An award worthy performance.
See it if you enjoy strong acting (and a solid script). Dilorenzo holds your attention nonstop for 90 minutes - she's funny, quirky and a little scary
Don't see it if You're offended by swearing or descriptions of sexual acts - although both are just a small (but meaningful) part of the play.
See it if You like one woman show. Very smart, good acting, good story

See it if you get off hearing a young woman curse like a truck driver.
Don't see it if You want a show with a watchable plot or an actress who sounds like a professional
See it if you like a one woman show, about a woman who is very shallow, selfish and without scruples. I could not become interested in this character.
Don't see it if you do not like one person shows or shows with explicit dialogue. I found the explicit dialogue as boring as actress's monotone voice.
