Christy Brown Staff Reporter Controversy is nothing new on this campus, but a student play opening Tuesday may be one of the most controversial presented by students at Truman. It is a play about forgiveness and the potential limits to forgiveness. The drama is written by feminist playwright Jane Martin. The main character in the play, Keely, played by junior Jen Hunt, is a rape victim who is planning to have an abortion. Walter, played by senior Matt Davis, is a preacher who is very set in his beliefs, Holbo said.
