TriMil is the collaborative artistic effort of director Tristan Powell and playwright John Aldous. TriMil rejects sentimentality and nostalgia in the theatre and seeks instead to inspire a full spectrum of emotional and intellectual responses to our work. We believe the role of the theatre in contemporary society is to probe the structures of power that govern our material reality, exposing contradictions and exploding myths.

Hollywood sensation Myrtle Gordon is filming her latest movie—the most important of her career—but she can’t nail the accent, and it’s driving her mad. Her rebellious son Vlad is a prolific vlogger who—with the help of his deadbeat internet friends—intends to bring down the entire culture industry with his version of the Radical Truth, if he can only get his ass off the couch. As the Oscars approach and the Powers That Be watch from above, are we witnessing The Greatest Actress In The World spiral out of control—or is that just the sound of The Greatest Civilization That Ever Existed crumbling down around us?
