Description "Donning a black lace petticoat is a condition of audience entry - for men and women... in the ensuing hour the audience is witness to many dark dances of various combinations. First and Last Warning is a performance piece... it is a thought-provoking effort which explores the acceptable and unacceptable boundaries of violence, sexuality and polite, proscenium arch theatre."
