Even then, we have an older professor accused of sexual harassment by one of his students. What happens when we shift the light and it’s a young boy who reports his sports teacher years later? John Patterson responds to that scenario with a multi-faceted and hard-hitting play. Innocence isn’t the answer to a problem. Once the show is over, it feels like he’s put a picture in front of his audience and now asks to describe it. It demands a discussion over drinks right after.
