A revealing play that goes into it and asks the questions about humanity and power abuse. Well done.

Fascinating play that plays with gender and race. The premise creates an uncertainty in the audience that leaves them on edge and really asking questions about power dynamics and identity. Love this play.

Excellent from the start. A play that begins with bathroom stalls and ends in poetry is worth the read and the production. The transformation of gender within the action is rhythmic and becomes artistic and expected. I was moved by the message this choice conveyed. The story in the story is both captivating and violent, and I am still in that room with the jury as they hold life in their hands. Well-done.
