Synopsis

"Parks has burst through every known convention to invent a new theatrical language, like a jive Samuel Beckett, while exploding American cultural myths and stereotypes along the way....

She's passionate and jokey and some kind of genius."--

Vogue

Press Reviews

"Is there a more generous, compelling talent on either side of the Atlantic than Suzan-Lori Parks? She's the natural heir to Beckett (and the only playwright worthy of the accolade)…Within the dramatist's playfulness and punning and Joycean delight in language—between the spoken lines, in a startling fresh image or the ricocheting echo of a gunshot—is an entire, tragic universe. She has written the most staggering American play imaginable."
