This scene is followed by a rape re-enactment, which is one of the many controversial issues covered in the show.
In 2008 the Dean of Students Division commissioned a production by the Drama Department to address controversial matters on campus.
Andrew Buckland and Alex Sutherland collaborated with a cast of Drama students and created a show which covered weighty topics in a humorous manner.
The purpose of the show was to spark discussion and to encourage awareness about possible concerns in our society. This year Jess Harrison directed the show which featured a fresh cast of young performers.
