Description In this intimate conversation, MacArthur “genius” and two-time Pulitzer finalist Sarah Ruhl is joined by writer-actress Mary-Louise Parker, winner of Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe awards, to celebrate the launch of Ruhl’s new memoir. In Smile: The Story of a Face, she explores her decade-long search for a cure for Bell's palsy following a high-risk pregnancy. In a series of witty and lucid meditations, Ruhl chronicles her experience as a patient, wife, working mom, and playwright. From the pain of postpartum depression to her desire for a resilient spiritual life in the face of illness, she invites us on this profound and piercing journey.
