“Marvelous! Touching and funny.” – New York Times “Astounding! Sun brings us not her world but the world. An object lesson in what should not be missing from any life curriculum: hope.” – New Yorker NO CHILD ... written & performed by Nilaja Sun November 23 – December 23, 2007 video excerpt - cast & credits - related links - restaurants Nilaja Sun worked as a teaching artist at a high school in the Bronx, where every day the students face huge challenges in simply coming to school. She directed them in a play, and their trials and triumphs form the basis of No Child .... In a performance reminiscent of The Syringa Tree, Nilaja herself takes all the parts, transforming into the students, teachers, parents, administrators, janitors and security guards who inhabit our public schools and shape the future of America. An award-winning hit in New York, No Child ... is a virtuosic performance, joyous and heart-wrenching. In Nilaja’s words, “I created this piece to be a snapshot from the trenches, something entertaining and provocative that’ll get people talking about the state of our public schools.” Recommended for ages 15+. Running time 70 minutes with no intermission. Produced in association with the Loeb Drama Center. |
