Zoom theatre has never looked like this! TheaterWorks Hartford will debut Sarah Gancher’s timely new play about the everyday banality of destabilizing democracy, Russian Troll Farm: A Workplace Comedy. Additional support comes from The Civilian, NYC’s experts of theatre “at the intersection of the theatrical and the real.” The collaboration creates a “site-specific work for the internet” inspired by the actual transcripts from the Russian government-backed Internet Research Agency in the run-up to the 2016 election.
