The entire year is 2050 and contrary to public opinion, Judy Garland didn't perish in 1969, but rather, after several liver transplants, she's lived to the grand old age of 138. Re-embracing her real name, Frances Gumm, she becomes a feminist scholar working on her PhD and writing her thesis over a little-known gay Canadian playwright Dash King, whose career concluded in drugs and promiscuous intimacy. Frances is enthusiastic about King's antiquated notion of gay politics, and his tragic history activates her own meditations on what this means to be an addict. This is actually the extreme communication between Frances and her PhD advisor in a dystopian future that holds lots of surprises. Included in these digital missives are musings on from the merits of post-structuralism, the continuing future of queer theory, and a passionate monologue about days gone by and the near future by one of the premiere divas of the time.
