"Boy o' boy! This play caused quite the uproar in my 2009 North Campus (Washington State Penitentiary) Representative Plays class. 6 students got to page six and slammed the book shut and refused to keep reading (as their response paper told me). Yikes! I had never thought of this as a very controversial play. I did the dramaturgy in a team effort in 1999 and I was watching the gender switching/time switching/genre switching/place switching right in front of my little eyes and I hadn't really thought about the fact that if you're reading it, the little boy who is raped by the Uncle, is in fact, raped. However, when you're watching it, it's played by a grown woman...so...some of it is mitigated, I guess. The style of the first act is also so silly and fun that much of the oppression and abuse is mitigated that way. Well, they didn't get full points for giving up and giving in to their biases, but I sure learned a lot...Whew!"
"Interesting points but a little on the shallow side... from the description on the back, I would have thought this was a brilliant expose of colonialism and hierarchies of sexuality and gender, but the execution left much to be desired."
