Caravan Delivers a Glimpse of Women on the Edge with Sweet Comedy, Sandra D'Urso , single work review essay

Described as a “darkly comic look at life on the margins”, it is also a curious blend of vaudeville with faint notes of magic-realism. It delivers cheery choreographed sequences set to popular music, rapid-fire comic delivery, while touching on the social realities of gender and class disparity.' (Introduction)
