Written and Performed by Anne Gridley
Directed by Eric Ting
Anne has a disease you’ve probably never heard of and that doesn’t have a cure. Her doctor says it shouldn’t define her, but she’s going to define it for you. Direct from a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway run, Watch Me Walk is a hilarious and biting new play about disability, pity, and family mythologies that will stay with you long after the curtain—or Anne—falls.
