directed by Evalyn Parry

A portrait of sisterhood. In the wake of shocking news, sisters Liz and Delia unravel a lifetime of memories, travelling across space and time to trace the push and pull of their relationship over their fifty-year shared history with humour, nuance, and candor. You, Always is an ode to sisterhood— to the brutal honesty, raucous silliness, and unflinching support of an indispensable sibling.

WHY I CHOSE THIS PLAY 

I love Erin Shields’ writing. She is one of this country’s most prolific and acclaimed playwrights. Here she tells a simple story in a most unusual fashion. Two sisters live their lives out before our eyes—switching from young children to mature adults and back again in the space of a few lines. This is a dazzling piece of writing—and a deeply emotional investigation of sibling love and rivalry. —MS
