First staged in 2007, Hitting (On) Women is a play about first loves and how they can haunt you. Twenty years after the relationship ends, a woman receives a phone call from her first ex-girlfriend’s mother, who informs the woman of her ex’s death. As memories and visions of her ex-girlfriend return, the woman relives memories of loss, confusion, and regret in her life, kick-started by the events of her first relationship.
