About Day After the Waste Land:
T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land gets reborn in Lawrence, Kansas—where basketball courts replace chessboards, dive bars pulse with poetry, and pop culture collides with small-town myth.
A bold remix of a timeless classic, Will Averill’s Day After the Waste land is part homage and part reinvention—wry, vivid, and unforgettable.
Kent Smith’s striking visuals turn Lawrence into a living, breathing “Unreal City”—equal parts grit, myth, and pop art energy.
Basketball courts, dive bars, and poetry—welcome to Lawrence, the new Unreal City.
