Hush - A Play About the Complexities of Date Rape

She not only refuses to talk about the problem, she's pushing everyone away from her

Despite this, Sara and John stick by her, and finally, she confides in Sara: Kim's boyfriend Rob has sexually assaulted her

We are witness to Kim's struggle toward recovery

We eventually see her recover from a near-fatal end, and her return to life through the help of her friends and a caring counselor

The play is largely about the victim, but it is also about the victimizer

Rob is not made out to be the villain, but a real person with problems of his own

We come to understand his confusion and frustration with sexuality, and feel his sense of loss when he becomes exiled from his friends

Because of this unique play, we can understand all sides of the problem
