Swifties, it’s time to grab your friendship bracelets, blast “Cruel Summer,” and prepare your hearts, because the world of YA friendship and fandom just got its own Taylor Swift–inspired cinematic universe.
You know that friend or relative, who having experienced a traumatic life event, has gone off the deep end, and is convinced that the conspiracy theory they’ve concocted as their safety net is 100% true? That’s essentially the premise of “Bugonia” (Focus), the latest from prolific filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos.
The recipient of multiple honors for her writing, including a Lambda Literary Award, the Anhinga Prize in Poetry, the Clay Reynolds Novella Prize, a “Spoon River” Editor’s Prize, an Oscar Wilde Award, and a special mention for a Pushcart Prize, lesbian poet, essayist, and educator Julie Marie Wade is also one of the most prolific writers you will ever read.
She may be gray, but this box is seeing a lot of action. The Gray Box Theatre, opened and operated by the same folks behind HarmonyWaves, kicked off with a grand opening that was such a success that it had to be repeated the next night. Or, so I hear, I wasn’t actually invited.
