Set roughly fifteen centuries in the past, the narrative refuses the comfort of historical distance. Instead, it uses Khona’s story to interrogate questions that remain unresolved: how women’s knowledge is dismissed, how class and authority shape truth, and how power silences voices that challenge it. The play’s central argument is unambiguous—oppression often begins at home, long before it becomes institutional.

The production has been lauded for its compelling portrayal of Khona's defiance against patriarchal norms and her quest for equality.​
