Paris

Meer over het boek

Emmie is one of the only Black people living in Paris, Vermont, and she desperately needs a job. When she is hired at Berry's, a store off the interstate selling everything from baby carrots to lawnmowers, she begins to understand a new kind of isolation. Paris is a play about invisibility, being underpaid, and how it feels to work on your feet for ten hours a day.★★★★ "A remarkable new play! Part workplace comedy, part social thriller. Booth's deft and delicate hand cuts with slow deliberation until it reaches the bone." - Naveen Kumar, Time Out New York "Racism is a stealth force in Eboni Booth's astute and coolly observant new play. A solid addition to the genre of sociologically detailed working-class American dramas. Simple yet startling." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times "A fierce distillation of life under modern precarity. The chill of this show went so deep... hilarious and dangerous." - Helen Shaw, New York Magazine "A lean and impressive debut... Each character is both sharply written and played. Paris will transport you to a place that comes to feel as intimate and epic as the city with which it shares its name." - Tim Teeman, The Daily Beast ★★★★ - Stanford Friedman, New York Theatre Guide "Beguiling!" - Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania
