You Too?

by Taylor Leigh Lamb

Liza is a strong advocate for the #MeToo movement and is pretty clear on a few things: all sexual assault survivors deserve a chance to tell their stories and, as a journalist, it is her job to help make that happen. In the course of her work, she discovers that her own father—the only Black partner at his law firm, and Liza's biggest supporter—may be a perpetrator of sexual assault.

Liza is a strong advocate for the #MeToo movement and is pretty clear on a few things: all sexual assault survivors deserve a chance to tell their stories and, as a journalist, it is her job to help make that happen. In the course of her work, she discovers that her own father—the only Black partner at his law firm, and Liza's biggest supporter—may be a perpetrator of sexual assault. As she chases the story, she uncovers complicated and conflicting motivations, and grapples with questions of loyalty to family versus belief in one's own personal values.

    This is a play that will definitely start some much-needed conversations. A play about what happens when someone's duty to their family bumps up against doing the right thing. Loved how complex these characters are and how boldly this play asks questions.

    A beautiful story depicting truth vs. family. Lamb's characters are so wonderfully human and flawed and empathetic that even when you think you know your opinion about someone it changes in the next scene. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what decision Liza was going to make. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a fresh take on this issue. A wonderful conversation starter that provides plenty for whoever is cast in this show. Outstanding! Thank you, Taylor!
