Meet Kenneth, a thirty-eight-year-old bookstore worker who spends his evenings sipping mai tais at the local tiki bar. When he's suddenly laid off, Kenneth finally begins to face a world he's long avoided - with transformative and even comical results. Primary Trust is a touching and inventive play about new beginnings, old friends, and seeing the world for the first time.
Emmie is one of the only Black people living in Paris, Vermont, and she desperately needs a job. When she is hired at Berry's, a store off the interstate selling everything from baby carrots to lawnmowers, she begins to understand a new kind of isolation. Paris is a play about invisibility, being underpaid, and how it feels to work on your feet for ten hours a day.★★★★ "A remarkable new play! Part workplace comedy, part social thriller. Booth's deft and delicate hand cuts with slow deliberation until it reaches the bone." - Naveen Kumar, Time Out New York "Racism is a stealth force in Eboni Booth's astute and coolly observant new play. A solid addition to the genre of sociologically detailed working-class American dramas. Simple yet startling." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times "A fierce distillation of life under modern precarity. The chill of this show went so deep... hilarious and dangerous." - Helen Shaw, New York Magazine "A lean and impressive debut... Each character is both sharply written and played. Paris will transport you to a place that comes to feel as intimate and epic as the city with which it shares its name." - Tim Teeman, The Daily Beast ★★★★ - Stanford Friedman, New York Theatre Guide "Beguiling!" - Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania
