I and You is an award winning two-person play. An ode to life, love, and the strange beauty of human connectedness.
One afternoon, Anthony arrives unexpectedly at Caroline's door, holding a beat-up copy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. Homebound due to illness, Caroline hasn't been to school in months, but she is as quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. As these two let their guards down and share their secrets, their seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks a much deeper mystery that has brought them together.
Known as “The Butterflies,” the spirited and courageous Mirabal sisters inspired a fight for freedom in the Dominican Republic. For 30 years, President Trujillo’s iron fist of authoritarianism tightened around the throat of the Dominican Republic. But the people would not be silenced, and as the revolution grew, so too did the four Mirabal sisters. As the girls became women, their deep love for their family and passion for their country led them to become activists and martyrs for the revolution against the Trujillo dictatorship. Their legacy led to the creation of the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Based on Julia Alvarez’ acclaimed novel, this play bears witness to the joy and laughter, terror and violence that shaped a nation and its people.
