Playwright explores pandemic in 'Plays for the Plague Year'
Is it too soon to explore the pandemic through art? Not if you’re Suzan-Lori Parks, who wrote a short play a day while sitting at home for 13 months and has now turned those into a full-length performance at New York’s Public Theater. It’s part of a very big year for one of the country’s most acclaimed playwrights. Jeffrey Brown has the story for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
