Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, the author of last season’s The Harder They Come, returns to her artistic home The Public Theater with an edgy dramedy that celebrates the craft of theater while taking a hard look at history.
The off-off-off-Broadway theater troupe Good Company is putting on a play about Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. Writer Luce is cast as Sally; her romantic partner, and the play’s director, Mike, is cast as Tom—really, people, what could possibly go wrong?
In association with Minneapolis’s acclaimed Guthrie Theater, this funny, ferocious new work is about art, politics and the contradictions that make all of us. Directed by Steve H. Broadnax III, Sally & Tom is an unmissable New York premiere from one of our finest and most daring playwrights.
