CONTENT ADVISORY

• Blatant homophobia and sexism from the antagonists
• Prior to the action of the play some characters have lost loved ones (a parent, a sibling, and a romantic partner). The cause of death is unspecified by the text and the severity of grief varies.
• Characters describe depression, but not in those exact terms.
• Gaslighting
• References to blood and injury (very mild)
