We recently saw “Plays for the Plague Year” a wonderful and worthwhile musical/play by Suzan-Lori Parks at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater.
At the beginning of the lockdown, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Parks set out to write a play a day. The result is this production.
As you entered Joe’s Pub, you were offered a little note card asking what you remember and what you want to forget from that incredible time.
As time passes, masks become the exception rather than the rule, and we move to a new normal, they are powerful questions.

I remember how eerily quiet it was in the City as though a cloud came down over us and seeing the tents in the Central Park in front of Mt Sinai that were being used to deal with the overflow. I won't forget.

Powerful questions indeed. Searing answers. But mostly, fear shrouded normalcy as we retrenched to cave-dwelling, united by our common threat, gobal resistance, social media and zoom.

I want to remember that Spring came anyway and the blossoms were gorgeous. Walking in the park was healthy! I want to forget the conspiracy theories and people who spread them.
