Pussy Valley
Mixed Blood Theatre
1501 S 4th Street Minneapolis
A world premiere by award-winning playwright Katori Hall. Centering on the lives of four strippers and propelled by the poetry and athleticism of live pole dancing, PUSSY VALLEY is a profound exploration of the African American, white, gay, straight, young, and old denizens of a strip club in contemporary rural Mississippi. Embedded in a world of poverty, abuse, power imbalances, racism, jealousy, homophobia, abandonment, and sexploitation, this searing drama reveals resilient women in pursuit of happiness, stability, motherhood, independence, a decent living, and romance, always battling for personal integrity.

Pussy Valley Reviews
| Star Tribune - Recommended
"...Still, once you tune your ear to the language, as you would any Shakespearean play, or get past the setting, this play by the author of “The Mountaintop” is actually a fairly conventional story. It’s about people who seek solace, fulfillment and a living, albeit in a place where few may enter. But you needn’t go to the strip joint. Mixed Blood has brought it to a theater near you."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Recommended
"...If you're thinking of going to see Mixed Blood's production of "Pussy Valley" for the skin show, just be aware: While much flesh is displayed in this world-premiere play, you're likely to come out of the theater with a cranium-full as well as an eye-full."

How Was The Show - Somewhat Recommended
"...Katori Hall is the author of the gorgeous and unusual The Mountaintop, produced last year by Penumbra in collaboration with the Guthrie. I wish Pussy Valley had this play’s discipline and taut focus. I can’t help but think that PV needs another pass-through. Or perhaps it wants to be a screenplay."
