Ah the joys of sleepaway camp: raids, color war, a slavish devotion to social hierarchy. For the girls of Bunk 14, camp isn't an eight week vacation; it's a dog-eat-dog microcosm of the adult world they're so desperate to inhabit. Join Ashley, Zoe, Tracy, Samantha, and Abby on a hilarious yet terrifying 90-minute thrill ride into the deep, unexpectedly dark and dangerous world of twelve-year-old girls. Everyone wants to climb the social ladder, but maybe it's better to stay put on the bottom rung. After all, you never know when you'll be the victim of an accidental shove to the depths of social homicide, or worse.

This was…a ride. I think the blurb on the back cover describes it best: “as hysterically funny as it is brutally disturbing.” I’m trying to envision how an audience would even respond to this and I’m coming up blank. So glad my preteen years are well behind me. This play did a good job of capturing just how cruel and vicious girls can be at that age. This play made me remember it all too well.
