About the Show
Meet Gwen: she’s ferociously smart and uncompromisingly sexy. She is unbridled relentless energy, she never shuts up, and she won’t get out of her teacher’s apartment. She is a thousand years old – and 17. She’s hell-bent on testing the limits of her newfound power, and Jeff, her directionless man-child of a teacher, gives her ample material to work with. Gwen Powers is a painfully honest and darkly comic play about the power of youth and the false promise of experience.
