Review: BETWEEN TWO KNEES at Seattle Repertory Theatre
by Kelly Rogers Flynt - Mar 9, 2023

BETWEEN TWO KNEES at Seattle Rep is unlike any other show, mixing shame with amusement into a piece that uses comedy as resistance.

With humor as their weapon, the show takes aim at the violence, abuse, and manipulation that indigenous cultures have suffered and those who perpetrated those crimes. The show will make you laugh and make your seat of privilege so uncomfortable that you want to do something about it.hat did our critic think of BETWEEN TWO KNEES at Seattle Repertory Theatre?
