Rowan Zeoli brings Petty Dreadful to the table. Petty is a rage-fueled, attention-seeking drag queen Playing to Win.

Rowan and I discuss gender performance, radical imagination, and the parallels between reality television and actual plays.

Petty Dreadful is built for Deathmatch Island by Tim Denee.
