Plays for the Plague Year
A stunning collection of plays from Pulitzer Prize-winning
playwright Suzan-Lori Parks that captures the societal rupture of the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 13, 2020, as theaters shut their doors and the world went into lockdown, 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. Parks’s groundbreaking new work bears witness to what we’ve experienced and offers inspiration as we look ahead.
SUZAN-LORI PARKS is one of the most acclaimed playwrights in the American theater. She is the first African American woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for her play Topdog/Underdog. James Baldwin, Parks’s mentor, declared her to be “an astonishing and beautiful creature who may become one of the most valuable artists of our time.”
