You Will Get Sick is a world-premiere play by Noah Diaz. Get You Will Get Sick tickets on New York Theatre Guide.
In the You Will Get Sick play, a man receives a medical diagnosis that changes his life. Scared, physically breaking down, and barely coping with the news himself, he decides to hire an older woman to tell his loved ones on his behalf. The aftermath of his decision, and the revelation of the diagnosis, changes his and her life in deep and powerful ways. This play highlights what it means to have a body, with all its difficulties and miracles alike.
Playwright Noah Diaz wrote You Will Get Sick in 2018, when he was in graduate school at the Yale School of Drama. The show went on to win the Jean Kennedy Smith Playwriting Award from the Kennedy Center, and the Roundabout production marks Diaz's Roundabout debut and New York professional debut. Two of his other plays, Richard & Jane & Dick & Sally and The Swindlers, previously went up at Baltimore Center Stage.
