Alexis Soloski: "A boy student assaults a girl student. It's sad, yes. But to quote Shakespeare again, it's 'everyday's news.' Who wants to write about a victim? It's depressing. Better to thrill an audience with some he said, she said, right? ... We know that sexual assault on college campuses is both epidemic and underreported, in part because women and men who have experienced assault doubt that they will be believed. So is it too much to ask for a play that confirms the truth of an assault? Or suggests that a victim wasn't somehow asking for it?"
