Agreed, this is like, critical documentation of the current (and waning) zeitgeist. Man I never wished I lived in or near NYC so hard, I've always been fascinated by this scene existing, but had to just voyeurize it from afar. Thank you so much for this, Rachel.
I love the recursive self-referential, 4th wall breaking aspects of what you describe in this series of plays. Do you think Gasda would be open to making it an indie film, or "shopping the rights" lol to some RW indie producer? It'd be even funnier if the movie was then a movie about making the movie about the play. Levels of layered simultaneous engagement, philosophy, and absurdity in the banal, like I <3 Huckabees stuff. But yeah, I'd still encourage more production because like Yarvin says, without culture-building--actually hell, I don't need to explain this to you of all people. :P You're leading the charge there, Cultural Futurist.
Wow. This is really good. Thanks for this!
Glad you enjoyed it. I wanted to get it out while the play was still screening.
