3. 'Gen Ed'

Episode 3 of 6

Ed finds himself grappling with the vagaries of Gen Z. Or is that Gen Y, or Gen Alpha?

Ed throws himself into his new role as Theatre Critic for ‘The Countrywoman’.

He assures his readers that he won’t hold back in the critique of what he sees as “the wayward vowel epidemic of recent times”. So it is that he finds himself grappling with the vagaries of Gen Z (or is that Gen Y or Gen Alpha?), and his new role lands him in a quandary between ambition and truth when he has to review a truly awful opera production directed by a dear old friend who was once described as ‘the most beautiful man in the world’.
