Bonnett’s script invites audiences to ponder why young women go missing, why they are too often never found, and what more could be done to help keep them safe. The show also interrogates whose stories get amplified, addressing disparities in media coverage around cases involving white women and those involving women of color.
Still, some questions remain around the legal system’s accountability in the crisis, which the performance could address more firmly within the conversation it seeks to start. Wright also appears as Mia’s mother, desperate to find her daughter, and as a community activist heading up the search for her. Wright brings depth and power to all three roles, giving a voice to stories confined to the shadows.
