A phenomenally powerful statement on assault and the culture that blames the victim, not the perpetrator. Well done.

Rachel Bublitz explores the mess and trauma that come with sexual assault on multiple levels, and challenges the myth of the “perfect victim” in doing so. The protagonist’s journey toward recognizing what’s happened to her AS assault, in the face of so many voices who would tell her otherwise, is painful and will be instantly recognizable to survivors everywhere. This one hit me hard--I only wish I’d found it sooner.

I know this red truck. I know what it is to dismiss what is happening, what could happen, what did happen, and this monologue gets it right! Thank you Rachel Bublitz for writing this! It may seem deceptively simple and yet coming to the consciousness of having been raped is not simple. What an honest clear piece for actors to work on! May it live in the world for all to see!
