Join playwright Matthew Gasda (Dimes Square, Zoomers) and novelist Tara Isabella Burton (Here in Avalon) for a conversation about chronicling the post-pandemic era, the “vibe shift” of 2020-22, and capturing culture beyond the culture wars.
We’ll be discussing Matthew Gasda’s plays, Dimes Square and the new Zoomers, asking: “What does it mean to chronicle a culture?” Is it possible to capture an era — or a “vibe” — without making a piece feel dated or too wedded to contemporary discourse? How does the particular illuminate the generic?
