But what happens after the party's over, after talent is celebrated, envied, mocked, and memed? Where do you go from there? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eZoomers and Other Plays\u003c\/i\u003e, Gasda serves up sharply observed, richly ambivalent depictions of a perpetually hungover present. Across these four new plays-\u003ci\u003eOne-Winged Dove, Morning Journal, \u003c\/i\u003ethe \u003ci\u003eDimes Square \u003c\/i\u003esequel \u003ci\u003eAfters\u003c\/i\u003e, and the collection's title play-spiritual longing and unbearable loss sit uneasily alongside meretriciousness and naked cruelty. Through a generational haze of pot, porn, and video games, Gasda memorably captures our era in all its glory and confusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Matthew Gasda\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
