And so yes, well, Id simply dropped that whole idea of being a good person, Id dropped it right down into some hole in the street, and down it had gone into the citys sewers, and no one ever saw it again. Set in a rather privileged world of intelligent and gentle people, a father, mother, son and the fathers long-time mistress tell the intimate story of their lives. Wallace Shawn, a student of morality whose plays have brought us frank truths about politics and sexuality, here takes on the subject of love - suffocating and freeing. Remorse, resentment, joy and sorrow play out against the background of a pleasurable and sophisticated but violent city.We dont understand ourselves, and we dont know why we do what we do. Ideally, then, dangerous weapons should be kept out of our hands at all times, but in romantic, sexual, and familial relationships we carry the weapon of our own feelings strapped to our chests whether we like it or not.Wallace ShawnWhat We Did Before Our Moth Days premiered at the Greenwich House Theater, New York, in March 2026.

What does it mean to lose yourself and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Bartons formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.
