DEGENERATES

World Premiere at Playwrights Horizons

New York times critics pick

The boys are fucked. And they know it. In their own obscure corner of the internet, they offer each other proof that the game is rigged against men: it was over before it began, they will never be loved, better just to lay down and rot. When an unexpected relationship begins to form, the consequences of the boys' fatalism are made painfully clear.

“Willow Funkhouser’s intimacy direction lights a match in a room doused in gasoline… the hottest thing since Heated Rivalry.”

-Sarah Holdren, Vulture

“Two people who aren’t supposed to be having sex are having sex…It’s hot, it’s uncomfortable, it’s ravenously human. One hundred forty people look on.”

-Georgie McKeon, Cultured Magazine

“Desmond and White have the most electric sexual chemistry I’ve encountered onstage in 2026…”

-Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania

“Awkward, taut and filled with psychosexual tension.”

-Caroline Cao, New York Theatre Guide
