How she gets to that point and the inevitable obstacles she must endure along the way are what make Never Been Kissed...

The arrival of the Advisor (Karin Alexander), interrupting the speech signals the beginning of the denouement of the play; it reproduces on a individual level the horrific, senseless violence that the general recalls in his soliloquy...
