So this will be my first Res 5 show, and
Res5 means that I have three shows happening
at the Signature Theatre over the next 5 years.
Octet came- I actually was at first working
on a show about uh-
debate in general, and
that show just kind of fell apart and didn't
feel quite right,
but in the process of writing that show,
like some of the most interesting things I
found were about
the way that discourse kind of unravels on
the internet
and you know, what that is like as a forum
for intellectual thought.
And then as I was researching that I just
kept on coming across all these stories of
you know, internet shamings, and internet addictions
and all these terrible, soul-eating things.
that the internet has brought into our lives.
And you know, being aware of course that there's a lot
of beautiful and amazing things that it offers as well.
But uh-
I've just gotten really fascinated with those things, you know-
both as an artist and in my own life, you know.
So I've been trying to look at the way that
use the internet in my own life.
And so often when I'm making shows,
I wanna make shows about whatever I'm obsessed with at the moment, and-
that's something I'm obsessed with at
the moment.
