A monologue and confession made by Angie WANG, an actor about to turn 40, Before Outdated blurts out her burnout as a theater professional and frustration on the dating market. Written, directed, and acted all by herself, the work draws inspiration from her own experience as a single woman who tries to quench loneliness through dating after curtains are drawn. WANG's character speaks to the anxiety of single career women. The series of encounters with bizarre and farcical men she has met through dating app leaves opens up all kinds of self-doubts and introspection. Her stark account sheds light on the ridiculous, absurd, and pathetic conundrum modern humans face in their search for romantic consolation in a digital age.
