Incel Play: a series of distractions by Charlotte Lang-Bush, is a project about humor, witch trials, bad dubs, comedy bros, and The Worst People on the Internet. Four actors are otherwise wonderful people, caught between performing the manosphere and summoning the court case at the root of the Malleus Maleficarum, the manual that started witch hunting in Europe.

Fresh Ground Pepper’s 2023 PlayGround PlayGroup cohort has spent the last six months meeting regularly both in person and virtually, in order to make progress on brand new projects. Charlotte’s culminating her time in PGPG by sharing moments, inspirations, and insights into their developing work. Rather than a reading series, this series of process showings gives us a glimpse at segments of the artists’ process in action.
