ANON – a tempest at our kitchen table is a bold new play written by ANNE WASHBURN (MR. BURNS, A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY) and directed by Obie Award winner and Tony® Award nominee ANNE KAUFFMAN (MARY JANE).
When a gay pride flag is unfurled across the street from Jeanie, an increasingly online TikToker in a suburb in Texas, two seemingly different households…freak out. How well do you know the people you live among, and with, in an America where the line between fantasy and reality has become increasingly optional?
