Matthew Gasda: Zoomers and Other Plays, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

With his breakout hit play Dimes Square , dramatist Matthew Gasda was instantly anointed as the chronicler of the downtown set, a satirist-cum-anthropologist of TikTok microcelebrities, reactionary edgelords, and hapless hangers-on. But what happens after the party's over, after talent is celebrated, envied, mocked, and memed? Where do you go from there?

In Zoomers and Other Plays , Gasda serves up sharply observed, richly ambivalent depictions of a perpetually hungover present. Across these four new plays-One-Winged Dove, Morning Journal, the Dimes Square sequel Afters, and the collection's title play-spiritual longing and unbearable loss sit uneasily alongside meretriciousness and naked cruelty. Through a generational haze of pot, porn, and video games, Gasda memorably captures our era in all its glory and confusion.
