When a beloved teacher is accused of sexual impropriety, a former student must reconsider their relationship––and ask big questions about love, education, and power in the process.

This play tackles a number of heavy topics with incredible compassion for everyone involved. Pelsue tackles big philosophical and ethical topics in a way that works around the temptation to think about them too hard and invites the audience to feel them instead, and it's much harder to come up with a black-and-white answer when we deal with those feelings. This is beautifully written, heart-wrenching work.

A deeply disquieting and deeply human story that explores sexual abuse and the multi-armed impacts it has on survivors as they try to move forward with their lives. Rob is such a vividly rendered individual and his journey is compelling from start to finish. The way Pelsue plays with time, space, and double-casting in a highly theatrical but never gimmicky way is inspiring, as is the subtle way he weaves the rise of Trump as a thematic thread that provides context and shape without taking over. I'd love to see this poignant and powerful piece performed!
