A Play Titled After the Collective Noun for Female-Identifying 20-Somethings Living in NYC in the 2010s
by Haleh Roshan
Synopsis
THE STORY: Shirin is working on a book about post-Occupy Wall Street grassroots movements and trying not to succumb to anxiety attacks.
CJ is a public defender navigating NYC’s fucked up judicial system, while trying to make time for a meaningful personal life.
Elizabeth needs to finish college and figure out what to do next.
Oh, also, there’s a mysterious bug infestation in the kitchen.
Hashtag millennials, amirite?
Putting an urgent spin on stories about “girls” in any medium, COLLECTIVE NOUN is a love letter to an unsung history of collective action and a battle cry for radically reenvisioning what it means to fight for change.
Press Reviews
"COLLECTIVE NOUN is VERY GOOD. …It’s a font of esoterica; it felt made specifically for me but I’m betting you’ll feel the same."
— Maxamoo
