Wrenching, Relevant, Moving, Great acting, Intense

See it if Parents try to cope with their son's sex crime, which also triggers a midlife crisis in their marriage. Compelling acting tears you apart.

Don't see it if You don't believe that a child you have raised for 20 years could hide a dark side from you. Alas, they can. Which makes this play so scary.

Emotional, Ambitious, Thought-provoking, Riveting, Great acting

See it if you want to see a play about the effects of sexual assault as seen from an unusual angle or it you are a fan of the marvelous Kathryn Erbe.

Don't see it if you are uncomfortable with the topic and if you require having all the loose ends neatly tied up.

Great staging, Relevant, Absorbing

See it if Somewhere between realist drama and Brechtian Lehrstück, the play addresses the aftermath of trauma and developing new forms of intimacy.

Don't see it if Some of the scenes are choppy or overly didactic, though it coheres strongly. Excellent staging that breaks up the realism.

Thought-provoking, Intense, Relevant, Great acting

See it if you are interested in an intense play that looks at a perspective of sexual assault that is often overlooked, the parents of the attacker.

Don't see it if themes of sexual assault can trigger you. It's extremely intense and centers around a horrendous crime against a child and a college student
