Fake Friends
Plays Discussion

The artists of Fake Friends discuss their newly published plays Circle Jerk and This American Wife and the process behind their creation. The conversation explores the internet's mix of pop culture, politics, and personal testimony. Circle Jerk follows gay white supremacists who create an AI influencer to dominate global discourse, while This American Wife draws on queer devotion to stars and reality-television performance strategies. Both plays were written for digital theater during the pandemic. Tickets are available.
