MAGNIFICENT WASTE is a darkly savage comedy of modern manners by acclaimed US Latina playwright Caridad Svich. In this play: Lizzie B makes shock art. Arden buys beautiful things. A young man wants to be famous. In a modern world addicted to sex, drugs, fashion and celebrity, three friends make a pact that will change their lives.
The play explores America's appetite for excess and presents an unsettling portrait of its own undoing; a glittering but brutal exploration of modern society’s superficiality and the objectification of the human body.
