‘This is a scourge on our nation, and it’s shameful,’ says playwright Kit Wilder on gun violence in America.
It’s every parent’s worst nightmare.
“This is a scourge on our nation, and it’s shameful,” says playwright Kit Wilder. “The incidence of gun violence in this country is indeed a cancer, but perhaps even worse than that, because cancer kills us slowly. This is killing us outright every day. And something has to be done. “ A former City Lights’ associate artistic director, Wilder has directed many plays for the company over the years, including some of his own: his adaptation of “Frankenstein” and the play “Truce: A Christmas Wish from the Great War” coauthored with Jeffrey Bracco, who’s now directing “Toxic.”Wilder first started writing “Toxic” in 2019 as an actors’ showcase for students at Virginia’s Shenandoah University, where he now teaches.
“But then we sat down and talked about what in there. Was there anything in there that spoke to them? They liked the idea of gun violence and where’s the civility in our national politics anymore, so I took that and ran with that, structured in a way that there was a story but also everybody had their own individual moments, since it was a showcase for their talents.
