I didn't respond as well to this play when I compare it to Eve Engler's other works, but it definitely steps into her usual themes of crafting her stories around a particular socio-political message. Instead of covering femininity, sexuality, and the destruction of social taboo's, Necessary Targets discusses how when we try to 'help' people we are often helping ourselves, using the example of two women volunteering their time to 'help' women at a refugee camp.

I have changed my mind in the time since I wrote my first review and now. As the days went on, this play got to me and not in a good way. It lacked something and I think what it that "something" was is new material or new ground. Much of what happens in this play is already covered by The Vagina Monologues. Nothing new is being brought to the table here and as a result, felt repetitious and boring. In addition, many of the characters are annoying and hard to connect with.
