The Committee
The Committee is a radio play by Liz Magic Lazer that weaves student testimonies into a collective autofiction — part psychodrama, part political satire. Presented as a live news broadcast, it draws on the rhetoric of McCarthyism, the spectacle of reality TV, and the fragility of artistic freedom in a time of protest and repression.
