Quintessence McGee (they/them) is a writer. Their work explores late stage capitalism, the necessity and oddity of language, and our experience of time. Also bad jokes but like good bad jokes. Playwriting credits include their psychedelic romp through the global financial system Party in the USA! (Edinburgh Fringe, 2014) and its yet-to-be-staged sequel Wrecking Ball, a heist caper about sentient AI, election hacking, and the collapse of a strudel empire. This is their first screenplay.
