About the Show

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.'

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?

Disappointing, Thought-provoking, Edgy, Cliched, Relevant

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.

Slow, Confusing, Cliched

See it if You are interested in a deep-dive into one woman's intellectual awakening and extramarital affair.

Don't see it if You are hoping for any new insights to these themes or a resolution to the character's situation Read more

Absorbing, Entertaining, Disappointing, Confusing, Ambitious

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.

Raunchy, Slow, Disappointing

See it if you want to watch a show delivered by a very unlikable character. She does nothing but complain while continuously playing with her hair.

Don't see it if you want to watch a pleasant character with some redeeming qualities.

Banal, Cliched, Excruciating, Raunchy, Maybe it lost something in translation from swedish, but this solo piece left me cold.

See it if You're interested in one woman's account of her unhappy relationship with her very poor choice of a boyfriend from hell she can't get rid of

Don't see it if A endlessly whiney baby doll voice endlessly complaining about her bad choices and mistreatment would drive you up a wall--like it did me.
