Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and MacArthur genius Suzan-Lori Parks (Topdog/Underdog) is one of the most exciting and thought-provoking playwrights in American drama today. She adapted Zora Neale Hurston’s classic novel Their Eyes Were Watching God for television, and her adaptation of the classic opera Porgy and Bess won a Tony for best musical revival in 2012. Her newest play, Father Comes Home From The Wars (Parts 1, 2, & 3) is an epic set during the Civil War.
