Suzan-Lori Parks and Daveed Diggs on the trippiness of reality

White Noise,” the new play by Pulitzer Prize-winner Suzan-Lori Parks (“Topdog/Underdog”), centers around a shocking premise: an African American artist — played by Daveed Diggs from “Hamilton” and the 2018 film “Blindspotting” — asks his white best friend to buy and enslave him.Kurt Andersen talks to Parks and Diggs about “White Noise” and why even the most outrageous moments of the play are believable on stage. “Theater is the closest to real life,” Parks says. “Real life to me is not realistic. To me, real life is trippy.” -- Studio 360
