The relevance of this unsettling drama for our present moment of #MeToo is obvious... joins the ranks of such works as Michaela Coels I May Destroy You and Nina Raines Consent...

A seriously important work." --Arts Hub (Australia) Excerpt from Book Every winner might be the one who loses the next day.
