    “ This powerful play explores what it is to be a survivor of sexual trauma in a world that doesn't want to listen and how class and privilege protect perpetrators of violence. There's a lot to dig into here for the actor. ”

    “ TESTIMONY claws at my insides. It is a visceral and unflinching play about trauma and how ill-equipped our society is to respond to it. But it's also about class, and what gets assigned value, WHO gets assigned value. Who has permission to make art, who is supported in that art, and who has to put themselves at risk in order to afford to make art. It is both heartbreaking and expertly crafted. ”
