Emmie is one of the only Black people living in Paris, Vermont, and she desperately needs a job. When she is hired at Berry’s, a store off the interstate selling everything from baby carrots to lawnmowers, she begins to understand a new kind of isolation. Paris is a play about invisibility, being underpaid, and how it feels to work on your feet for ten hours a day.

A remarkable new play! Part workplace comedy, part social thriller. Booth’s deft and delicate hand cuts with slow deliberation until it reaches the bone. - Naveen Kumar, Time Out New York

Racism is a stealth force in Eboni Booth’s astute and coolly observant new play. A solid addition to the genre of sociologically detailed working-class American dramas. Simple yet startling. - Ben Brantley, The New York Times

A fierce distillation of life under modern precarity. The chill of this show went so deep… hilarious and dangerous. - Helen Shaw, New York Magazine

A lean and impressive debut… Each character is both sharply written and played. Paris will transport you to a place that comes to feel as intimate and epic as the city with which it shares its name. - Tim Teeman, The Daily Beast
