2 stars – accidentally weak The theatre company Studio 212 wants to stage a new version of the 1944 noir movie Double Indemnity, with a queer, feminist and antiracist take on it.

One of the men was caught red-handed, so the women are talking. It’s the first time in their lives that they take the agency to gather and react. For four years, between 2005 and 2009, women and girls of the Mennonite colony have been knocked unconscious with belladonna spray and raped by the men of…
