Overview
Sherri is the Head of Admissions at a private school, fighting to diversify the student intake and she wants you to know about it.
When her son is deferred from his university of choice, and his best friend - who 'ticks more boxes' - is accepted, Sherri's personal ambition collides with her progressive values.
Critic reviews
A painfully predictable, screamingly schematic play from Bad Jews writer Joshua Harmon, starring Alex Kingston
An astute but improvable skewering of liberal hypocrisy
A frequently furious debate play that swirls around issues of entitlement, white privilege and positive discrimination
A fiery reduction of the divisions that fuel national conversations of access and privilege
Provocative, bracingly funny and persistently challenging, this is a drama with claws
Covering race, class and educational bias, this is a play guaranteed to make white liberals shift uneasily in their seats
US college drama on educational prejudice needs some revision
It's a clever production of a script which doesn't deliver on its final A-grade
Alex Kingston stars in this woeful American comedy
What a punch to the kidneys for liberal snoots. Peppery, provocative, riveting stuff
Despite his best intentions Harmon’s play fails to make the case for more nuanced thinking
