Agnes Under the Big A Tall Tale explores the intersecting lives of several immigrants in a US city. It is a magical tale of hope and disappointment, identity and reinvention, narrated by an itinerant subway busker. Against the subterranean rhythms of a subway train, a Liberian home care worker, a former Bulgarian ringmaster and his wife, an Indian call center escapee, and a bed-ridden American woman, find and redefine themselves in today's America.

Great play, I read it as a book but still I was able to visualize everything that was happening. The play is funny at a lot of moments, and also sad in some parts. Felt a lot of different feelings while reading it, which is exactly what I was looking for. Definitely would watch it on scene!
