It starts with your balance, but it begins to spread, as these things often do. Your legs numb, your grip-strength weakens, you will get sick.

It starts with your balance, but it begins to spread, as these things often do. Your legs numb, your grip-strength weakens, your arms go rigid and hard. Before long, you’re hiring a stranger to practice admitting the profoundly human truth: that you got sick. You Will Get Sick is a play in second-person about learning to live within your body as you find your way home.
You Will Get Sick premiered off-Broadway with the Roundabout Theatre on 14 October 2022.
