Society wants to fake us out, but Tiff, her Nonna, and her f*up friends are gonna put a stop to all that. Part 90s hacker thriller, part slacker makeout dream, rife with hallucinogenic OTC meds, militant pigeons and rats, if you ever had a crush on the entire cast of The Matrix, this play is for you!

kathy ng (she/they) writes plays and makes crafts. I was born in Hong Kong. I’d say my stuff attempts to create stretchy//spiky playing spaces for human-adjacent beings. I like the idea of theater as a construction site for new, alien languages. Recent works include bacon sausage veggie noodles (Clubbed Thumb Reading Series) and happy life (O’Neill Finalist ‘21, The Hearth). I made my NYC debut in the summer of 2022, when happy life received its world premiere production at Walker Space. The production was called “porous but sticky” - New York Times and “a kinky, violent, tentacle-porno masterpiece”- Stagebuddy. I am a New Georges Affiliated Artist and an alum of Clubbed Thumb’s Early-Career Writers’ Group. BA from Brown in Writing for Performance. I currently live in Providence, a home-like place, where I’m back at Brown and pursuing my MFA in playwriting.
