At Thanksgiving dinner, Knox shares that he is grateful for three things he thought were a curse: being Deaf, being gay, and being an alcoholic. After a terrible accident and what feels like the trials of Job, he and his family’s resilience is put to the test. Written both in English and American Sign Language, Craig Lucas’ funny, ambitious, and beautiful new play pulses with the exhilaration and ache of human connection.

I Was Most Alive with You is a new play created by a hearing artist featuring Deaf/deaf actors and characters.  It is being told in both ASL and English, and will hopefully be fully accessible to members of the Deaf and ASL communities at every performance.

"I’m so excited to be working on this play at the Huntington. Peter DuBois and I have a long friendship and now I am over the moon about working with his incredible colleagues. I couldn’t be more thrilled about the process, the actors, the project. And if the process so far is any indication, then this is far and away the most meaningful artistic journey of my life.”
