    Why Use Words?

    What is the value of speech in an age of imagery? Playwright Anne Washburn examines the role played by the ancient technology of language in our modern telepathic world.

    Anne Washburn’s recent plays include Antlia Pneumatica, 10 out of 12 and Mr. Burns. Among the honors she has received are Alpert, Whiting and PEN/Laura Pels Awards, a Guggenheim fellowship, and several MacDowell and Yaddo residencies.

    This event is part of The Future of Being Human, an initiative of the McDevitt Core Professorship and McDevitt Center. In light of ecological crisis, rapid technological change, and widespread social alienation, what is the future of being human? Join a multidisciplinary conversation about what it means to be human in the 21st century.
