Losing time
Description:
Late one night over-the-edge New Yorker bursts into the apartment of her friend Joanne and rants about being sexually assaulted by a young man on the street. But as her hysterics dwindle Kate admits that the man was someone she picked up in a coffee shop because she has been so upset since her divorce. Soon Joanne opens up and confesses that Kate's ex-husband was among her many sexual conquests over the past few years, and the two women launch into a tirade about their attraction to and repulsion of men. "John Hopkins's corrosive study of sexual degradation known as LOSING TIME has something to offend both men and women, both the political right and the left ... This Strindbergian treatment of women's rites of passage from masochism to self-respect, from dependence to independence is daring, dangerous, and easy to put down. Yet it is also an important play which, despite inevitably hostile reviews, will find an appreciative audience. Painful it is. Harrowing it is. Ugly it is. And, yes, shocking it is, even to people of unrefined sensitivities. But which of us doesn't go to the theater hoping maybe this time the play will be powerful? Well, this time it is ..." -Tish Dace, Other Stages
