The scenes attempted to challenge common conceptions of what rape is, who can be raped, and who is a rapist. In one scene, an actor and an actress stood side by side and shared different versions of the same evening, each unaware of the other's presence and experience. The female recounted the evening as progressing from having fun and drinking at a party to being acquaintance raped. The male character recounted the evening, starting from having fun at a party to having great sex with an intoxicated, feisty girl at that same party. The scene called attention to the issue of date rape, also know as acquaintance rape.
Date rape is when the victim knows the assailant.
The last slide in the series asked everyone who knows or has known some one who has been raped to stand up. All but two of the approximately one hundred people in attendance were standing. Theater has become an integral part of Rape Prevention Education Programs. It breaks through the silence. Greensite plans to continue sponsoring the play at UCSC, and is currently looking for directors to continue the tradition next year.
