The Fluidity of Truth

    A fitting tribute to a culture where handsy boy reigns and women are guilty until proven innocent. Well done.

  • Ricardo Soltero-Brown: The Fluidity of Truth

    If you can crack how to stage the first page, well, the rest should follow, and I promise it'll follow in spades. You can call that a criticism, but this play is all about the absurdity of victim blaming. It's a bizarre satire for a bewildering problem. This is, in the truest form of satire, a militant play. The fact that there may be no "ha-ha" is beside the point; and, true to Quintilian, this is all about rhetoric; the character Donnie does an infuriating job of twisting words and pulling logical fallacies from out his ass. I dare you.
