I Wanna Destroy You

A reading of a new play

I Wanna Destroy You tells the story of two aging liberals and a group of New York City teens as they confront violence on personal as well as broader, social levels. Drawing on current events, pop culture, and the tender and at-times absurd dynamics of teen friendships, the play explores what it is to grapple with — and grow through — loss in a fraught political present.
