Strangers We Know

In two eras, across an ocean, two women learn the secrets hidden inside those they love the most.

Word for Word returns with verbatim performances of two stunning short stories: “Mlle. Dias de Corta” by Mavis Gallant and “Which is More Than I Can Say About Some People” by Lorrie Moore. In this two-part evening, one woman looks back on a mysterious tenant, while another takes an ambitious journey with her mother at the wheel. Strangers We Know shows how love, loneliness, and wit can catch the heart off-guard and blow it open.
