About Plays For The Plague Year

On March 13, 2020, as theaters shut their doors and so many of us went into lockdown, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and The Public’s Writer-in-Residence 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.

Performed in the intimate music venue, Joe's Pub, 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. Working in collaboration with Niegel Smith as director, Parks' groundbreaking new work is brimming with humanity, bears witness to what we’ve experienced, and offers inspiration as we look ahead.

Too long, Resonant, Emotional, Original, Ambitious

See it if you want the opportunity to reflect on what 2020 was like. It's stunning to look back and remember what we collectively experienced.

Don’t see it if you aren't ready to relieve the early days of the pandemic. Some seats in Joe's Pub are physically uncomfortable and this is almost 3 hours.

Relevant, Touching, Moving, Resonant, Great writing

See it if You’re open to having a shared experience reliving what it was like to live through the pandemic — with both pain and joy.

Don’t see it if You don’t want to see a barebones production about the pandemic. This is somewhere between a cabaret & a developmental workshop.
