20; Two plays and a monologue

Two full length plays and one monologue set in speculative worlds. “Suggest the Empire,” a history play about an invented history, explores the theatrical nature of nationalism and empire, while “Tallahassee Ca. 2045” unfolds in a possible future, following a group of politically conscious high school students as they launch a protest for youth rights, and then watch the protest grow out of control following a global catastrophe. And the short play “Chimaera Cries ON STREAM!!!!!” takes place is a slightly altered present, with a speedrunner livestreaming during a terrorist attack. Each piece is followed by a brief afterword by the author, explaining how the plays came to be.
