I And You at Portland Stage

One afternoon, Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate Carolines door bearing a beat-up copy of Walt Whitmans Leaves of Grass, an urgent assignment from their English teacher. Homebound due to illness, Caroline hasnt 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.
