TRYING TO WRITE DURING A FASCIST COUP OF OUR DEMOCRACY

[whatshouldwecallplaywrights]

It’s Monday. My country is actually going to elect a fascist troll as the next president. I am still RAGING. I think this is just what life will be like now. I will stay mad. But I will stay focused. And I will keep writing and I will keep smashing the white supremacist narrative that wants me to be scared and small and quiet.

WHEN ACTORS SAY THEY WANNA WRITE A PLAY
