...dust and innuendo kicked up by the Jones filing, it had an important technical purpose: to get the case in front of an Arkansas jury. The Jones team's problem, it would seem, is that all the obstruction and suppression in the world won't help it if it fails to prove that Jones suffered from her alleged encounter with Clinton.

Because Ruth and Lisa seem to complement each other so well throughout most of the play, the emotional explosion in the end carries a great deal of power. Both characters are appealing in their own way, so the audience is confronted with a difficult challenge: whose side should be taken in this conflict of words...
