    Bublitz's satire addresses the question of sexual boundaries. Women are often looked at in a hyper-sexualized manner.Even though extreme cases of sexual abuse are not as frequent, women often are viewed in ways that demean their individuality. I like plays with a message and by reversing sexual roles. Bublitz puts a searchlight on unrealistic perceptions of sexuality
    Very original take on a societal issue.

    Absolutely jarring and poignant. I was hooked from the beginning to the end. Masterfully written and dark enough to pique my interest.

    The play tackles modern issues (the topic of women’s rights) through flipped gender roles as a satirical piece on how men trample over the rights of women on a daily basis. I like how the play is trippy with the switch in gender roles, and I think that the message is very powerful.
