RICHARD & JANE & DICK & SALLY
​the play

Noah Diaz’s Richard & Jane & Dick & Sally sees the harsh, realistic evolution of characters who became part of America’s collective unconscious via a series of iconic 1950s children’s books by William S. Gray and Zerna Sharp. In Diaz’s theatrical universe, Dick (now Richard) and Jane are grown up; Richard is recently widowed and hasn’t spoken to Jane in ages, while his children are retreating into the realm of fantasy. Richard’s son Dick sports his mother’s clothes in hopes of conjuring her, and his daughter Sally—who is deaf and feeling the crushing weight of her father’s desire for her to fit into the hearing world—converses with the family dog, Spot. In this dramatic comedy, Diaz makes a stunningly lyrical off-Broadway debut that exposes the gap between the idealized archetypes we internalize as children and the often painful real-life experiences that drive our emotional development as adults. ​
