Philadelphia Theatre Company continues its 35th anniversary season with the Philadelphia debut of acclaimed playwright and actress, Anna Deavere Smith, in her award-winning show Let Me Down Easy, beginning this Friday, March 18 through April 10 at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre.

Conceived, written, and performed by Smith, Let Me Down Easy is a virtuosic and moving exploration into the power of the human body, the price of health and the resilience of the spirit.

Based on more than 300 interviews Smith conducted with an eclectic mix of individuals on three continents, the show portrays the stories of more than 20 people as Smith takes an honest and deeply moving look at issues surrounding contemporary health care.

Let Me Down Easy blends Smith’s trademark journalistic precision and poignancy with theatrical art, social commentary and intimate reverie that make this performance one you won’t want to miss.
