“The political is not separate from these characters' lives in America—especially, in the case of this play, regarding the absence of DACA. And Sanctuary City invites an audience into that world, with these particular characters at that particular time, which I think more and more feels like the time we're living in now. For some people, it may be a world they're unfamiliar with—or are more familiar with from news articles—and for them I hope the play contributes a more intimate and personal picture to those headlines and articles, a picture of a life. For others, it will be shorthand, an experience they know in their bones, which I hope will do for them something like what seeing the work of other playwrights writing from similar worlds and experiences does for me: to make me feel more connected, less lonely, and more alive. A tall order perhaps but that's always the hope: connecting to the world, feeling fuller in one's life, seeing and being seen. I hope it's a night of communing in the theatre—whether it's your world or very much not. Because ultimately...it is your world.” – Martyna Majok
