Unfettered Joy
by Zoe Erwin-Longstaff
Harbourfront’s World Stage brings us Untitled Feminist Show (UFS), written by New York playwright Young Jean Lee, with choreographer Faye Driscoll, and director Morgan Gould. This is the second display of Lee’s work in Canada after World Stage’s 2013 season included The Shipment, her commentary on the black experience in the United States. UFS similarly grapples with identity politics, but this time, as all promotional material is quick to tell you, the action unfolds without words or wardrobe. What you can expect then, is less of Lee’s signature caustic commentary; instead, the more playful element of her previous plays seems to have exploded into 60 minutes of exuberant whimsy.
