Acting Class

Nick Drnaso’s Acting Class (2022–present, Drawn & Quarterly) follows a group of strangers who enroll in an unconventional acting workshop, only to find the exercises blurring the line between performance and reality. Drnaso, the sole writer and artist, applies his signature muted realism and disquieting emotional precision to explore how we construct our identities. This single-issue series, still ongoing, continues the author’s acclaimed examination of modern alienation and the quiet dread lurking beneath everyday life.
