As the streets of 1665 London pile up with bodies, a rough-spoken sailor and a precocious young girl steal indoors, only to discover themselves quarantined for a month with the wealthy master and mistress of the house.
One Flea Spare is a searing and bawdy Black Plague comedy that explores the limits of compassion in a tale about sex, class and disease. Winner of the 1997 Obie Award for Best Play and from the MacArthur Fellowship “Genius Award” winning writer and Kentucky native, Naomi Wallace.
