Thanks
for your note. Everyone I know
who saw Oleana had a completely
different reaction. (It's been
over 5 years since I saw it,
so I may be mis remembering
it.) For instance, I remember
going and thinking that both
characters were wrong--1.) he--as
the teacher--was wrong to make
her--his student--feel uncomfortable,
compromised, vulnerable. 2.)
she was wrong for not reporting
it or doing anything besides
going to her "group." Sexual
harasement laws are there for
people to put them to use--so
that's what she should have
done. Conversly, feminism is
there to do away with sexual
harassment altogether--to create
a climate where a teacher would
never think he/she could get
away with such a thing.
Given my reaction and everyone
I know--I think your best bet
is to follow your own instincts
on the play.
