A new play by the Herman Voaden National
Playwriting Competition winner
Is it possible to be too progressive? Is too much liberalism ultimately dangerous? In the hotbed of a university classroom, Isabelle, a young university professor tests those limits. She creates an online discussion board for her class and encourages them to speak freely. However, an anonymous student makes offensive posts and Isabelle must decide whether to take action against the offender. As the harassment becomes increasingly dangerous, attacking Isabelle’s personal and professional life, her ideas of liberalism, inclusion, and open-mindedness are challenged.
