Death of the Author – May 21-23

In our postmodern world, is there such a thing as an original idea? When a young adjunct English professor accuses a graduating student of plagiarism in his essay on postmodernism, a battle of academic shrewdness and underhanded acts ensues, threatening to balloon and affect the professional and personal lives of four people. A co-production between Firebird and the Gunnison Arts Center, Steven Drukman’s ivy-latticed dramedy explores the real motivations behind and costs of ambition and competitive careerism in academia with witty, devious precision. We hope to see you there!
