Acceptance by Amy Ng
A prodigiously talented young musician, an Ivy League school, a life changing allegation. Out of 37,451 applicants to Eliot University, Angela stands out - but not for the right reasons. An ambiguous event in her past threatens to overshadow her talent, potential, and her future prospects. Can she overcome the prejudices of those judging her application or is she already tainted beyond redemption, regardless of whether she is victim or perpetrator? Crackling with razor-sharp dialogue, Amy Ng’s explosive new play asks whether we can ever escape our past and investigates the destructive side of our search for acceptance.'Intriguing… tackles big issues'
* Guardian *'Powerful, thoughtful… tackles themes that resonate particularly strongly in light of the #MeToo movement and allegations of sexual assault against men like Harvey Weinstein'
* The Stage *
