It’s a culture that begins with a joke, a gesture, a throwaway word or a game between friends, and it ends in an act of violence.
Following an allegation of sexual assault, a university campus becomes rife with speculation, mistrust, and anger. Jo, the first ever female master of her college comes head-to-head with Nikki, a student impatient for justice.
With the college polarised and both sides doubling-down, will anyone emerge unscathed?
Award-winning playwright Kendall Feaver follows her “funny, heart-breaking, acutely alive” debut (The Guardian), with a pin-sharp new look at the ever-growing generational divide between feminists.
