Channeling a dramatic range of interview subjects, from artists and athletes to doctors and those they treat, LET ME DOWN EASY is a virtuosic and moving exploration of the power of the body and the resilience of the human spirit, featuring first person accounts from a wide variety of sources, including Lance Armstrong, and former Texas Governor Ann Richards. With her trademark journalistic precision, Anna Deavere Smith, one of the most acclaimed and provocative theater artists of our time, explores the world of healthcare from both the patient and practitioner perspective in this timely and absorbing new play.

Anna Deavere Smith has appeared on TV's "The West Wing" (in the recurring role of Nancy McNally) and "The Practice." (as D.A. Kate Bruner). Her theatre work includes Twilight: Los Angeles (two Tony Award® nominations for Best Actress and Best Play) and Fires in the Mirror (which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.) She currently stars in the new Showtime series "Nurse Jackie" alongside Edie Falco.
