3. 'Gen Ed'
Ed finds himself grappling with the vagaries of Gen Z. Or is that Gen Y, or Gen Alpha?
Ed throws himself into his new role as Theatre Critic for 鈥楾he Countrywoman鈥.
He assures his readers that he won鈥檛 hold back in the critique of what he sees as 鈥渢he wayward vowel epidemic of recent times鈥. So it is that he finds himself grappling with the vagaries of Gen Z (or is that Gen Y or Gen Alpha?), and his new role lands him in a quandary between ambition and truth when he has to review a truly awful opera production directed by a dear old friend who was once described as 鈥榯he most beautiful man in the world鈥.
