'I and You'

For the high school students at the center of Lauren Gunderson’s award-winning play I and You, a great book inspires an even greater friendship. Weathered copy of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass in hand, handsome and athletic Anthony recruits brainy-but-bedridden Caroline for last-minute help on a homework assignment. Over the course of the project, the duo discovers something deeper that has brought them together. Directed by Cathy Hurst, actors Victoria Fearn and Jabari Matthew step into the spotlight in Vermont Stage’s production of this touching, two-character drama that the Washington Post calls “sharp and funny.”
