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 :))

This is a Rec on how to stay sane, not how to get out, unfortunately.
I have been (mostly) unemployed for like almost a year aside from short stints or gigs. it’s been awful awful awful BUT AMC A List became my light at the end of the tunnel, truly.
$25 a month for 3 “free” movies every week. I use it as a treat after trudging through applications or to have something to look forward to. And, yes, you can watch as many free movies as you want on your laptop in your room but having a place to go or a plan at the end of a grueling day is great.

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.
