Suzan-Lori Parks: 365 Days / 365 Plays

Video: Book performed by Collective Works in Atlanta for the 365 International Festival.

Playwright/screenwriter/novelist Suzan-Lori Parks won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2002 for Top Dog / Underdog, which opened in the summer of 2001 at New York’s Public Theater with Don Cheadle and Jeffrey Wright in the starring roles. It later had a run on Broadway with Mos Def replacing Cheadle. Perhaps energized with this success, Parks embarked on a project in the fall of 2002 to write a play a day for a year. Thus 365 Days/365 Plays was born and it is currently being celebrated in a year-long festival of play performances throughout the world. In conjunction with Makor Theater, the Gansfeld Theatre Company picks up the baton for this week’s seven plays at the Synagogue for the Arts on Wednesday and Thursday. Afterwards they will perform the world-premiere reading of (Don’t) Look at Me, a darkly comic play by Molly Goforth that explores the nature of attraction.
