Sally And Tom

Who gets to write our shared history? In Sally & Tom, Pulitzer Prize-winner Suzan-Lori Parks interrogates the complicated, often mythologized relationship between Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. This witty, bold, and unapologetically audacious work asks us to reflect on love, agency, and the narratives we inherit.

“Hilarious and harrowing.”

The New York Times

“Parks, our most Shakespearean playwright, does for presidents and enslaved people what “Henry IV” did for royals and riffraff. She reveals the theater as a place to make truth when history has nothing more it can tell us. That’s the real love story here.”
