What if the biggest decision of your life happened in secret, while five students and a teacher sat inches away?

Stain is intimate, urgent, and quietly explosive, a play about what so many women of all different ages go through in silence all around the world. It's time to end the shame and condemnation that continue to strip women of their bodily autonomy.
