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 so many of us 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.

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