Recent Woody Allen play reportedly featured child molestation 'joke'

…and when I saw it, I remember being jolted by a satirical speech in which an older woman is mocked for blaming her troubles…

on being sexually molested as a kid. (I think it's graphic about what happened to her.) Curious if I'm remembering right, for obv reasons.

Thanks everyone! Lots of access to the script right away. Twitter is so fast.

Triggerish, FWIW. Here's a graphic WA joke about child molestation from Honeymoon Motel, a 1-act produced 3 yrs ago: pic.twitter.com/at1Z7DrXxd

(Just to clarify: though that play was produced three years ago, in interviews, Allen had said it was an older script that he'd revived.)

Man, I'm getting so frustrated at people tweeting me that comics make sick jokes. YES I KNOW. I praise that all the time. This /= that.

I'm not objecting to all dirty jokes/bringing charges. I'm pointing to a joke that feels specifically related to Dylan's accusations. Done.

@erikpatterson Again, my pt is that after his family was shattered by this accusation, he wrote a joke making fun of a molestation survivor.

@erikpatterson Also, a joke making graphic reference to the specific act he was accused of. We're not in court. To me, it's a gross joke.

@emilynussbaum Point totally taken. I agree that it's gross.

@emilynussbaum That "joke" is horrific. Disappointing there are so many doubting that Woody Allen's an abuser. #IBelieveDylanFarrow
