An achingly beautiful gift celebrating human connection. Contains adult language.
“Did my mother set this up? She would totally do this – make something up just to make me feel involved. I have a life, ok: I text. A lot.” – Caroline
Housebound because of illness, teenager Caroline hasn’t been to school in months. With only social media for companionship, she grows restless and increasingly sardonic. That is until classmate Anthony bursts into her room uninvited, armed with a scruffy copy of Walt Whitman’s The Leaves of Grass, a half-finished school project due the next day and waffle fries. At first the two seem to have nothing in common, but a friendship develops as they spar, joke and size each other up. As the pair bonds, they begin to uncover the mystery that may have brought them together and the strange beauty of human connection.
Lauren Gunderson, author of Silent Sky, was the 2014 Winner of the American Theatre Critics Association’s New Play Award for I and You.
“Big-hearted and simple, I and You is one of the most life-affirming plays you’ll currently see onstage.” Theatre Mania
“I and You is not simply a play about super-articulate kids dealing with a horrible illness; it is a validation of the human experience…” Broadway World
