SUMMARY:Sally & Tom
DESCRIPTION:Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks (Topdog/Underdog) delivers a “hilarious and harrowing nesting doll of a play” (The New York Times) in Sally & Tom\, a bold\, whip-smart theatrical rollercoaster. A scrappy theatre group is staging a play about Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson\, with the playwright playing Sally and her partner directing and playing Tom. What could possibly go wrong? As art and life collide\, rehearsals spiral into chaos\, unearthing powerful truths about race\, power\, and art. By turns funny\, gut-wrenching\, and unflinchingly honest\, Sally & Tom is a bold and entertaining explosion of the stories we tell about America’s not-so-distant past that will stay with you long after the final bow.
