Abstract
Anti-Hero: Revenge of the Swifties is a new full-length play in which fourteen-year-old Cora harasses a prominent music critic and his family into changing his scathing review of a country-turned-pop star’s most divisive record. When he ignores her demands, a fandom rises up to save their queen’s reputation. This play is about going to Target. It’s about being on your phone. It’s about looking camp right in the eye. It’s about turning our habits of consumption into ones of creation.
