TW: Medical abuse, intimate partner abuse, rape, sexual abuse
This was gorgeous and devastating. One of the things I love about Miller’s work is how in grounding mythology in a pragmatic reality the subtext becomes text. The brutal reality of being a woman literally created by a man resonates deeply and reflects the harrowing reality of women’s relationships with men.
Ruth Wilson’s narration was (as always) beautifully nuanced, breathing life into Galatea.
