“ Rachel Bublitz explores the mess and trauma that come with sexual assault on multiple levels, and challenges the myth of the “perfect victim” in doing so. The protagonist’s journey toward recognizing what’s happened to her AS assault, in the face of so many voices who would tell her otherwise, is painful and will be instantly recognizable to survivors everywhere. This one hit me hard--I only wish I’d found it sooner. ”

“ Bublitz's monologue achieves a rare and penetrating examination of the consciousness of a young woman learning to identify sexual violence despite the cultural noise which conditions us to accept the unacceptable. All the more real, devastating, and dazzling through its understatedness and artful brevity. ”

“ In this monologue, Bublitz builds incredible layers of tension, between past and present, between real and memory -- and between deep, unshakable knowledge and the niceties and complex conventions, the artificial excuses, that can so easily be perpetuated in a society that doesn't believe women. I'm truly grateful that this play's been written, as it so eloquently and powerfully expresses where we've been, and where we're going. ”

“ An incredibly power monologue that is, sadly, way too relevant. Bublitz is a gifted writer and has created a character that is honest and real. I know her, and it makes it even harder to hear her story. But it's important we listen. Read this monologue. Produce it.
