"Power is the great aphrodisiac" - Henry Kissinger

John is a University Lecturer on the brink of achieving tenure. Carol, a failing student, comes to his office to discuss her poor class performance. Midway through the play, depending on one's point of view, an act of sexual harassment does or does not occur.

"I don't want revenge, I want understanding" - 'Carol', Oleanna

Oleanna is a savage and ironic play that explores the inadequacies of the University education system, portrays the delicate boundaries between teacher and student and brutally charts a relationship that degenerates before the audiences' eyes.

But what actually happens in this see-saw of power? Is it male, predatory harassment or rampaging feminist propaganda?

You be the judge!
