This play tackles something so prevalent in the zeitgeist: Our obsession with "true crime" -- especially when that true crime involves a man torturing and killing a beautiful young woman. The sick translation of violence against women into entertainment. Victim blaming like sports commentary. The commercialization of women's pain. The way men profit from it and other women support it.
For once, in this play, the women who are the victims of gender-based violence get to speak for themselves. They get to have a voice in the conversation about their murders.
