Homebound due to illness, Caroline has been to school in months, but she is as quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. As these two let down their guards and share their secrets, this seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks a much deeper mystery that has brought them together.
I and You is an ode to youth, life, love, and the strange beauty of human connectedness.
REVIEWS:
"...sharp and funny. Gunderson taps into a buoyant spirit... the touching 'barbaric yawp' (Whitman's phrase) of these two deeply engaging kids."
The Washington Post
"...a validation of the human experience, and of the triumph of life over death. Gunderson's gift is the best thing a play can offer: we might be better people after seeing it."
DC Theatre Scene
"The striking twists and turns along the progression of the rapid-paced work are astonishing, breath-taking, and mind-blowing."
DC Metro Theater Arts
"There's no way to reveal why I and You is phenomenal, because it happens so fast you almost don't know what's happening. Which makes the ending even more stunning."
