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.
