on The Verge (or The geogrAPhY of YeArning)*By Eric OvermyerTroutt TheaterFollow the adventures of three Victorian era female explorers as they travel into what they believe to be Terra Incognita, a new, unexplored land. Equipped with dialog as pithy as their helmets, they can accommodate themselves to any emergency, dispelling any charge that they are representatives of a weaker sex. As the ladies progress on their travels it becomes apparent that they are traveling through more than a jungle, but through a continuum of space, time, history, geography, feminism and fashion.
