Bitches in the Future, or: (the men are gonna ruin everything)

Recommended by

  • Franky D. Gonzalez: Bitches in the Future, or: (the men are gonna ruin everything)

    An experimental satire set in the past but right at home in our current time. The playwright scot west creates a wildly inventive genre-bending and genre-blending political comedy that lampoons American society while cutting into the heart of our great debate on modernity vs. tradition. Despite its comedic tone, this play will leave you ruminating on some of the most serious questions currently being asked in the U.S. while also making you quite concerned for corn, messenger pigeons, donkeys, and the ghosts of great leaders who have guided us through turmoil. A fun fever dream of a play!
