College students get too drunk at a party. A girl is videotaped having sex — or was she passed out and being raped? And once aware of this videotape, what do her contemporaries do with it?

That's the provocative premise behind American playwright Frank Winters's Student Body, presented here by a solid 10-person cast. But Winters's play has some flaws, one of which is that bringing in so many characters means we only get the roughest sense of who they are and the action sometimes gets muddied as we try to keep track of them all.

But this is a really a play about issues — gender issues, sexual assault and, especially for these 10 characters, moral culpability. There are fascinating questions within this, but Student Body also spends much of its hour-long running time in circular arguments and yelling before hitting an abrupt conclusion.

It's given an admirable production by the young local cast, who show a lot of talent and promise — and who bring a play that may be imperfect, but is nonetheless incredibly timely and sadly relevant, to the Fringe.
