Publisher's Synopsis

Thirty-somethings Leo, Misha, Ralph and Dawn have been inseparable since college. Making their way together in the big city, they are liberal, open-minded and socially aware.

As best friends and lovers, confident in their 'woke-ness', their connection with each other is stronger than anything else - until Leo is assaulted by the police in a racially motivated incident. Shaken to the core, he brings to the group an extreme proposition...

Suzan-Lori Parks' play White Noise takes an unflinching look at race in the twenty-first century from both a black and white perspective. It was first performed at The Public Theater, New York, in March 2019, directed by Oskar Eustis, and had its European premiere at the Bridge Theatre, London, in October 2021, directed by Polly Findlay.
