Okay! I liked the style, I just thought it would go somewhere which it didn’t. A little anticlimactic, although I imagine it would be better to watch on stage.
Would be better with some form or twist or big oomf at the end! But an important message nonetheless.

Very very interesting. This play was incredibly clever, the dialogue was so smart and thought-provoking, I love how real it felt and I love the subject matter - how it was comedic & heartbreaking at the some time.
However, I found it incredibly triggering - I don't like the idea of humanizing rapists and falling back in love with them. It was giving Stockholm syndrome rather than real warranted love.

While the writing is fine, the handling of the subject matter is awful. Why MUST the integrity of the character who was raped be lacking? This was more upsetting than enjoyable and I’m left just hating all the characters.

Fantastic rattling dialogue, and an interesting, complex spin on a now fairly well-versed scenario. Very ambiguous, which others won't like and have said so in their reviews (and fair enough!), but for me this murkiness served to add to the play's intelligence

I just... don't know. very conflicted. definitely designed to be watched and not read
