Tom and Amber, freshmen at Princeton University, seem to be on the same page about where their relationship is heading, until suddenly they aren’t. What begins as a casual hook up turns into a Title IX hearing in which both students have everything to lose. Tackling the highly charged topic of sexual consent, this provocative new play by Anna Ziegler (Photograph 51) investigates the intersection of gender and race in campus politics today, offering a nuanced and psychologically rich portrait of a generation.  Featuring Sylvia Kates and Jaysen Wright.

“It empathetically pries open the heads and hearts of its two fragile characters. The acting is warm and intelligent, [the characters are] utterly cogent and difficult to dismiss. Ziegler positions the story precisely.”—Washington Post

“One of the best two-person plays I’ve seen in quite a long time.” –Washington City Paper

“Electrifying, full of vibrant language and emotion…absolutely compelling theater: suspenseful, easy to be swallowed up by, and helmed by two powerful performers.  As an immersive examination of the young people trapped in this quandary, Actually knocks it out of the park.”—DC Metro Theater Arts
