Looking at rape culture in a way that is harrowing, yes, but also entertaining, Mohlman addresses so many issues that shape our world today, but the play never feels pedantic. It is an exciting read with so much heightened theatricality that I wish I could see this play in person! a wonderful play.

This is a harrowing examination of rape culture on college campuses and in the world at large as well as the toxic celebrity of athletics. Mohlman makes clear and blistering connections between masculinity, competition, the fear of failure, and the perpetuation of sexual violence. The theatricality of marching band and football is used as a brilliant framing device--it makes me yearn to see this play fully realized on its feet. The large ensemble cast is well rounded and expandable too, making this ideal for college programs. Read, produce, and discuss this piece!

I saw this play at The Scratch's workshopped production, and it was one of the most effective deconstructions of rape culture on college campuses that I've ever seen.

I was particularly moved by the way that Russell was constructed as your run of the mill love interest in the first half, before his image was torn down piece by piece by his actions, privilege, and the wall of financial interest protecting him in the second.

This play is important, and I see a bright future ahead as it is further developed.

Read it.
