Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from March 21st - April 13th at 8:00pm, The Illyrian Players Theater Company will be telling the universally relevant story penned by Yale School of Drama Professor Paula Vogel. Talk backs with the cast and members of Survivor organizations such as "Stop Rape Talk Rape" will be happening each Saturday night of the run.
The Illyrian Players, LA's sex-positive theatre company, is the perfect group of artists to confidently tackle the complex themes of gender roles and human sexuality that are featured in this play.
This graceful, humorous and all too familiar tale speaks to the gray area of blame and the age of consent, ultimately revealing a provocative narrative about the gifts we receive from people who have hurt us.
