And I and Silence

Magic Theatre
Fort Mason Center San Francisco

In segregated 1950s America, two imprisoned teens -- one black, one white -- bridge a racial and cultural divide to transcend their fate. This riveting new prison drama from Naomi Wallace, author of the critically acclaimed drama One Flea Spare, is a playful and poetic story of survival that cleverly and seamlessly skips between two time periods, showing the two young women surviving the harsh realities of prison life and then trying to make they way in the world shortly after being released. Magic Theatre presents this West Coast premiere from a playwright Variety has called "one of the most subtle and politically engaged playwrights of her generation."
