A glowing Washington Post review of “Downstate,” a play which attempts to sympathize with rapists and pedophiles while appearing to vilify their victims, drew a barrage of backlash online for “normalizing” and “glorifying” pedophilia.
The Wednesday essay by Post columnist and theater critic Peter Marks, titled “‘Downstate’ is a play about pedophiles. It’s also brilliant,” argues that the Bruce Norris off-Broadway work is “tough stuff, questioning how society treats those convicted of heinous acts.”
