A crucially important story of an all too common occurrence on campuses everywhere. Powerful and well done.

A brilliantly structured, nausea-inducing, hugely important piece about campus culture, perception, and sexual assault. Bublitz uses time and space in a masterful fashion, weaving context into a story we have already decided we understand in the first scene, but which is slowly pieced together to create the whole picture. This should be high on the list for potential productions everywhere, particularly on university campuses.

I saw a brilliant production of this at Z Space Theatre in San Francisco. Tightly constructed and brilliantly plotted, it presents a complicated situation with no easy answers and provoked a great deal of conversation in those seated around me.

A painful, sobering reconstruction of an everyday, recurring trauma and the fractured, splintering reflection that becomes a means of survival.

Bublitz crafts an impeccable, crucial structure to tell this story. The use of the dress is outstanding - it tells us about time and so much about character. A truly thought-provoking piece on consent and rape culture, people should see it.

Powerful, challenging, thought-provoking play. The non-linear timeline creates a layer of doubt that really challenges the audience to reconsider their preconceived notions about the definition of rape, their idea of consent, and the double-standards women face that prevent them from reporting when they know the unthinkable has happened.

And so true that once raped, sex is cheapened. Once loss of self-esteem, it's easier the next time. That's what women look like, I'm not sure about the men. This is the college scene enhanced (if that's the right word) by drinking, after hours walks with rape dangers, and, above all, crushed expectations. Expectations aren't always good, but surely young people deserve more than this. Please report date rape and please prosecute so this doesn't become a farce.

This play is very relatable for girls of most ages. From the harassing and being afraid of being followed late at night to the sexual assault, sadly most girls have been affected in some way like that. The main character is strong and helps to give eye-opening situations to all who read.

This play is so impactful to realizing the life of a female and the struggles that are encountered. The confusion is so accurate and portrays the trust issues many women are left with due to sexual assault encounters. This play is so important for women to read, I am a woman myself, and it still opened my eyes to things — such a thought-provoking read.

This play is so important and resonated profoundly with me as a woman. The brilliant structure keeps the audience on the edge of their seat and fully present in each moment. The crisp and real dialogue is so refreshing. Most importantly to me- this play gets at the truth about sexual assault and the experience of being a woman in the world- the fear, the societal conditioning that our bodies are not our own. It does it in a gripping and visceral manner that begs a radical and transformative discussion about consent.
