A director of a South African orphanage comforts a teen infected with AIDS. A doctor in a New Orleans public hospital evacuates patients after Hurricane Katrina. Lance Armstrong and Gov. Ann Richards battle cancer. These are just a few of the stories Anna Deavere Smith brings to life in her new, acclaimed one-woman play, Let Me Down Easy, a collection of firsthand accounts of health care from those who have experienced it most intimately. Join us as Smith—playwright, actress, New York University professor and MacArthur “genius” grant recipient—performs excerpts from Let Me Down Easy and discusses what the project taught her about health, mortality, the human body and the care we give it.
