Chastity

Recommended by

  • Donald Loftus: Chastity

    A bold, unflinching drama, "Chastity" confronts adolescence, sexuality, and trauma with striking honesty and urgency. Jess Eichen crafts raw, deeply complex characters whose volatile interactions reveal vulnerability beneath bravado. The play’s sharp dialogue and fearless storytelling create an intense, thought-provoking experience that challenges, disturbs, and ultimately compels with its emotional truth.

  • Good Apples Collective: Chastity

    Bold and unflinching in its examination of two hypersexual 14-year-olds, Chastity focuses intimately and empathetically on the factors that have shaped these adolescents’ sexuality. Eichen’s writing is excruciatingly honest and daringly exact.
