| On a seemingly ordinary day, an explosive fight occurs at a high school when Travis, a bully, confronts his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend, Nate. Though the actual encounter lasts only a moment, the effects of the incident linger in the memories and lives of all those who witnessed it. Through a series of short scenes and monologues, this powerful play explores the repercussions, both short term and long, of a single event in a young person's life. At the play's end, the physical confrontation is illustrated once more, but now with a much broader perspective. |

| "A vivid, excruciatingly honest rendition of a slice of American life... Overall, one of the most beautiful dramatic pieces of its time. It's moving, honest, disturbing, gritty, sad, hopeful and always real." |
