Emmie is one of the only Black people living in Paris
Vermont
and she desperately needs a job. When she is hired at Berry's
a store off the interstate selling everything from baby carrots to lawnmowers
she begins to understand a new kind of isolation.
Parisis a play about invisibility
being underpaid
and how it feels to work on your feet for ten hours a day.
& & & & ""A remarkable new play! Part workplace comedy
part social thriller. Booth's deft and delicate hand cuts with slow deliberation until it reaches the bone."" - Naveen Kumar Time Out New York
""Racism is a stealth force in Eboni Booth's astute and coolly observant new play. A solid addition to the genre of sociologically detailed working-class American dramas. Simple yet startling."" - Ben Brantley The New York Times
""A fierce distillation of life under modern precarity. The chill of this show went so deep... hilarious and dangerous."" - Helen Shaw New YorkMagazine
""A lean and impressive debut... Each character is both sharply written and played.
Pariswill transport you to a place that comes to feel as intimate and epic as the city with which it shares its name."" - Tim Teeman The Daily Beast
