Questions of Travel 
Venue: Kings Arms Salford
Cast: Neysa Killeen

Gen Z's reality is rarely reflected accurately in literature and media. It is hard to progress using the traditional milestones when your rent is more than half your paycheque. Social media and consumerism soften the blow of failure; so does apathy. But there's just something missing, isn't there? Gen Z's situation seems hopeless, so how do you move with defiance and autonomy when you get stuck in one place? Neysa Killeen's debut interrogates ideas of education, capitalism, identity, personal freedom, and defiance. And there will be no patronizing suggestions like buying less avocado toast.
