I love the "meta-ness" of it. Playwright characters writing dystopian plays during a dystopia. J. Chavez hits all the right notes too, including the Lesbian love story (or porn story, depending how far the playwright would have gotten before being interrupted). There's plenty of inside-baseball type humor here for us playwrights, but an audience force fed one goddamn dystopian play after another will spot all the tropes as well. Well done.

CHAVEZ's short piece, "Another Goddamn Dystopian Play" is a take on what it truly means to be a playwright in a writer's room. Each of these characters faces challenges. All while truthful, some are more eye-opening than others. Read this play, you won't be disappointed!

I, for one, will never turn my nose up at a good dystopian play. Especially when they’re as enjoyable as this one! Granted, J. Chavez is writing for a very niche audience here. But if you’re on NPX (and you are), you are well within the target demographic. So, quit reading this recommendation and read Another Goddamn Dystopian Play!
