SUMMARY:You Will Get Sick
DESCRIPTION:A young man with a secret. An older woman who will listen. A predatory flock of birds. An upcoming audition for The Wizard of Oz. Welcome to You Will Get Sick\, a wildly imaginative new play that traces the hilarious and deeply moving saga of one man’s illness and his unlikely caretaker’s pursuit of her dreams. \nAdmired as “lively\, surreal and surprising” by the New York Times\, Noah Diaz’s Chicago debut is equal parts buddy-comedy\, form-bending experiment and sober meditation on mortality.
