LEROY AND LUCY
Two lost souls meet at a crossroads, in the dead of night, deep in the Mississippi of it all. With a yearning guitar between them, they tell secrets and conjure a sound once forgotten—a tune pitched with Leroy’s longing and the sweet purr of Lucy’s desires. In this sultry world premiere, a play with music from Ngozi Anyanwu, the Delta Blues fills the air, the future lies just down the road, and we are everywhere and nowhere all at once.
Leroy and Lucy will be performed in Steppenwolf's Ensemble Theatre.
