Winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
Overworked
but struggling, Jess takes a job as a caregiver for John, a brusque but
bright graduate student who has cerebral palsy. Eddie is an unemployed
truck driver who reaches a fragile détente with his estranged wife Ani
after a devastating car accident requires her to go through a double
above-the-knee amputation. With an unsentimental but keen eye, Majok
deftly challenges the typical perceptions of those living with
disabilities and delves deep into the ways class, race, nationality, and
wealth (or lack thereof) can create gulfs between people, even as they
long for the ability to connect.
