Girl in School Uniform Walks Into Bar is a harrowing and thought-provoking play that explores the complexities of adolescence, gender, and consent. Set in a modern bar, the play follows the story of a 17-year-old girl who goes missing after being seen entering the establishment.

The play opens with the girl, Sarah, walking into the bar. She is alone and seems lost. She orders a drink and sits down at the counter. Soon, she is approached by a group of men who begin to flirt with her. Sarah is initially flattered by their attention, but it quickly becomes clear that they are not interested in talking to her. Instead, they are interested in taking advantage of her.

The men pressure Sarah to drink more and more, and she eventually agrees. Soon, she is so drunk that she can barely stand. The men take her outside and into an alley, where they rape her.

The next morning, Sarah wakes up in a strange bed. She is confused and disoriented. She doesn't know how she got there or what happened to her. When she finally realizes that she has been raped, she is overcome with shame and guilt.

Sarah goes to the police, but they are dismissive of her case. They tell her that she was drunk and that she must have consented to sex. Sarah is devastated by the police's lack of compassion, and she feels like she has no one to turn to.

Girl in School Uniform Walks Into Bar is a powerful and disturbing play that shines a light on the issue of rape culture. The play shows how rape is often seen as a woman's fault, and how victims are often blamed for their own victimization. The play also shows how the justice system often fails to protect young people from sexual violence.

The play is a must-see for anyone who wants to understand the issue of rape culture. It is a powerful and moving work that will stay with you long after you see it.

Girl in School Uniform Walks Into Bar is playing at the Oberon Modern Plays in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Tickets are available online or at the box office.
