The first of two consecutive Langham Court presentations of work by American writer Lauren Gunderson begins its run at the Fairfield theatre starting Thursday, Feb. 27.
I and You, which will be followed on April 15 by Gunderson’s Silent Sky, puts actors Jesse Deutscher and Justin Lee at the heart of this two-hander, which involves a pair of students of differing vantage points hunkered down on an assignment that concerns Walt Whitman’s poetry collection, Leaves of Grass. The production, with direction from John Han, is simply staged, but the subtext of this 90-minute modern classic is considerable.
I and You runs through March 14. Tickets are $18-$36 from langhamtheatre.ca and the theatre box office at 805 Langham Ct. For more information, phone 250-384-2142.
