In Performance Video: Tessa Ferrer Performs Scene from Public Theater's BUZZER

This week's New York Times In Performance video features actress Tessa Ferrer in a scene from BUZZER, a new drama about love, fear and the high costs of choosing who we make a home with, and where. Watch the performance here!

The Public Theater began previews for the New York premiere of BUZZER on March 24. Written by TraceyScott Wilson, BUZZER marks the return of Wilson to The Public following her acclaimed The Good Negro in 2009 and The Story in 2003. Directed by Obie award winner Anne Kauffman, BUZZER will run in The Public's Martinson Theater through Sunday, April 26, with an official press opening on Wednesday, April 8.

The cast for BUZZER features Grantham Coleman (Jackson), Tessa Ferrer (Suzy), and Michael Stahl-David (Don).

BUZZER is a darkly funny, intensely gripping new play about love, fear and the high costs of choosing who we make a home with, and where. Jackson left his tough Brooklyn neighborhood by winning a scholarship to Exeter, where he met Don, a play-hard rich boy who became his unlikely best friend. Now a Harvard-educated lawyer, Jackson's bought a place in the newly gentrifying area he grew up in. But Jackson's white girlfriend, Suzy, isn't so sure she belongs in a community "on the verge." When Don comes to crash with his old buddy and stay clean, his stories of the neighborhood's dangerous past collide with the growing disconnect between Jackson and Suzy, and the treacherous sexual and racial tensions waiting just beyond the door and demanding to be let in.
