College students come together for a DIY self-defense workshop after a sorority sister is assaulted. "How to Defend Yourself" is a sharp, witty, funny and ferocious play that explores how “not to be a victim” and how to use your body as a weapon. The classes become a channel for rage, trauma, confusion, anxiety and desire. The play explores the way sexual assault steals your sense of belonging, and how these women might get that back.
