The play was a comic look at Sexual Harassment and the law was designed as a discussion starter for T.A.F.E, Government Departments and Work Sites. It toured interstate and intrastate and was funded by a variety of sources including arts and non arts funding. It was written and designed to be used as a training tool by Government and Educational institutions.
