Description A new American play that tackles the subjects of rape and retribution.

The press release described the play thus:

"The play begins with a stranger named Raul, who shows up at the screen door of a farmhouse on a Jersey highway. Marjorie, one of the three women who rent the place, is alone. She is barefoot and wearing a short bathrobe over some underthings. In quick succession, Raul, who claims to be looking for someone else, has stepped inside, forced Marjorie to the floor, and is preparing to rape her, but at the same time insisting on her full cooperation, including specific caresses accompanied by declarations of love and desire...then almost as rapidly, the tables are turned."
