LEROY AND LUCY by Ngozi Anyanwu


  • STEPPENWOLF THEATRE COMPANY 1650 North Halsted Street Chicago, IL, 60614 United States (map)

Two time (2017 & 2022) NHP Alum Ngozi Anyanwu's play, LEROY AND LUCY, will show at the STEPPENWOLF THEATER OCTOBER 24 through DECEMBER 15, 2024. Read the synopsis down below!

Two lost souls meet at a crossroads, in the dead of night, deep in the Mississippi of it all.  With a yearning guitar between them, they tell secrets and conjure a sound once forgotten—a tune pitched with Leroy’s longing and the sweet purr of Lucy’s desires. In this sultry world premiere, a play with music from Ngozi Anyanwu, the Delta Blues fills the air, the future lies just down the road, and we are everywhere and nowhere all at once.
