About The Show 

Using real life examples of unnamed divisive but celebrated playwrights, MASTERCLASS uses existing footage, publications and interviews to let these very artists reveal uncomfortable truths about themselves, and by extension, about our culture. The performance begins with a masterclass and interview with a ‘master’ playwright, subverting the tropes of said masterclasses: the sycophantic relationship between ‘interviewer’ and ‘artist’; the casual self-mythologizing of and aligning with canonical ‘greats’ that have gone before. MASTERCLASS begins as a parody of the celebrated lineage of the great male artist. It’s fun. It’s familiar. But there is something else at play, and something very serious at stake.
