About this title

Review:

""SLUT" is truthful, raw and immediate! Experience this play and witness what American young women live with every day."
Gloria Steinem

""SLUT" resonates to the core. It s a call to arms, a wake up call. It s harrowing and terrifying but also steadying and inspiring. It reminds us that we have work to do.
Elizabeth Cuthrell, founder of Evenstar Films, producer of "Jesus Son" and "Meek s Cutoff"

"Katie Cappiello s powerhouse script examines the double standard that celebrates sexual activity by boys but denigrates it for girls."
Valerie David, "Time Out New York"

""SLUT" is [a] breathtakingly brave, honest and brutal look at the reality of violence against women.
Kathy Najimy, actress and activist, "Ms. Magazine" s 2005 Woman of the Year

"First and foremost, "SLUT" takes direct aim at slut-shaming."
Eleanor Bader, "RH Reality Check"

"A gutsy feminist play."
Gabrielle Korn, "NYLON"

"The explicit link between slut-shaming, and the way it s used as a weapon against girls and against women who ve been sexually assaulted...is the most valuable part of [the] book."
