Outrage Blake Williams

About This Show

A one person play whose text has been adapted from actual arguments between ordinary Americans on the website Reddit, concerning the outcome of the 2016 U.S. election and its aftermath. The trolling, cyberbullying, and name calling we engage in on a daily basis takes center stage in this brutally honest portrayal of our national turmoil. Outrage cries out from inside the crucible of America in the age of Trump, but it is a hopeful endeavor—creating a channel for empathy through the embodiment of Americans staring fearfully across the political divide.
