Suzan-Lori Parks
On November 13, 2002, the incomparable Suzan-Lori Parks got an idea to write a play every day for a year. She began that very day, finishing one year later. The result is an extraordinary testament to artistic commitment. This collection of 365 impeccably crafted pieces, each with its own distinctive characters and dramatic power, is a complete work by an artist responding to her world, each and every day. Parks is one of the American theater’s most wily and innovative writers, and her 'stark but poetic language and fiercely idiosyncratic images transform her work into something haunting and marvelous.' (Time Magazine)Note: Theatre makers are welcome to present an assortment of selected plays from 365 Days/365 Plays. A presentation of 31 or more plays is considered 'Full-Length,' while a presentation of 30 or fewer plays is considered 'One Act.' All presentations must include the three plays known collectively as 'The 3 Constants.'
