A one-act experimental absurdist play that examines the topic of toxic whiteness, and how Americans might begin to address the role it has played in their formation as individuals and as a society. Set in the ether that is the modern American brunch, the play follows the existential chit-chat of Humans 1 and 2 as they ponder the impact of toxic whiteness in their own lives and try their hand at formulating solutions.
