fifth anniversary season, OLEANNA, by David Mamet. A college student, Carol, drops by her professor's office in an
effort to gain his help to do better in class. The two discuss the
nature of understanding and judgment in society, as well as their
very own natures and places in our society. It seems as if a bond
has been made. When next they meet we find that a report has been
filed to the tenure committee. Carol has joined a "group" and has
decided that John sexually harassed her during their first meeting.
Their second meeting dissects the first; every word, every nuance of
the first meeting has been twisted into something else. Or has it?
John's unsuccessful attempts to convince Carol to retract her
accusation escalate to a more dangerous level. The third meeting
climaxes violently leaving John and Carol both physically and
emotionally devastated.
