Synopsis

On March 13, 2020, as theaters shut their doors and so many of us went into lockdown, celebrated playwright Suzan-Lori Parks picked up her pen and set out to write a play every day.

What emerged is a breathtaking chronicle of our collective experience throughout the troubling days and nights that followed.

Plays for the Plague Year is at once a personal story of one family’s daily lives as well as a sweeping account of all we faced as a city, a nation and a global community.

Brimming with humanity, Parks’ groundbreaking new work bears witness to what we’ve experienced and offers inspiration as we look ahead.

Also available in a one-act version .

“For me, plays celebrate our humanity and demonstrate the process of community….[And] singing with others creates magic.

These plays are songs are meant to give us some tools we need to process both what we’ve been through and what we’re going through now.”

– Suzan-Lori Parks
