Translations by Brian Friel
- one of the best plays ever written imo. a small irish community in the early 1800s is shaken to its core when a british cartographer comes to map their land for the empire, attempting to translate their place names and ultimately erasing them. a brilliant study in how language creates and shapes culture.
The World Is Ending and Maybe That’s Kinda Hot by Catherine Weingarten (only on New Play Exchange ;)) - an adaptation of the Decameron by Boaccaccio, but if it was twitter in the 2010s. funky prose, sweeping emotions, horny teens.
Purlie Victorious: a Non Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch by Ossie Davis - saw this on broadway in september and it was phenomenal. a charismatic preacher constructs a farce to buy back his family’s old church from the town’s racist sharecropper. both incredibly funny and witty, and also a powerful reflection of black spirituality in the early 20th century.
hope this helps! always down to talk plays :))

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

⭐it helps me focus and stay moving around so i’m not just standing still on my feet while i pull espresso for 6 hours.
also it really brightens people‘s day. sometimes i get folks to dance with me, sometimes i get comments about the vibe, its just nice. it starts conversations about music. it makes work better.
