Chicago Tribune: “A young black man and woman (late twenties, early thirties) lean into each other across the table, within the allowed parameters of closeness," the playwright André Patterson writes, setting his scene. “They struggle to hear each other above the roller coaster volume of voices that surrounds them.”
Those are the first lines of “The Parameters of Closeness,” a short, remarkably prescient, profoundly impressive and clearly autobiographical drama set in the visitor’s room of the Stateville Correctional Center, a maximum security state prison for men, located in Crest Hill.
