“John Hopkins’ corrosive study of sexual degradation known as LOSING TIME has something to offend both men and women, both the political right and the left…
   This Strindbergian treatment of women’s rites of passage from masochism to self-respect, from dependence to independence is daring, dangerous, and easy to put down. Yet it is also an important play which, despite inevitably hostile reviews, will find an appreciative audience. Painful it is. Harrowing it is. Ugly it is. And, yes, shocking it is, even to people of unrefined sensitivities. But which of us doesn’t go to the theater hoping maybe this time the play will be powerful? Well, this time it is…”
