Review: Not in Kansas Anymore: Tornado Tastes Like Aluminum Sting at CATF

Review: CATF Touches Down Brilliantly with innovative TORNADO TASTES LIKE ALUMINUM STING
With Harmon dot aut’s semi-autobiographical play, Tornado Tastes Like Aluminum Sting, audiences at CATF will have that rarest of encounters—a play that reveals the world as it is experienced, and processed, by a profoundly autistic, synaesthetic pre-teen who can only communicate with the outside world through their first love, the world of film.
