one in two at PrideArts

one in two by Donja R. Love. one in two (lowercase is intentional) is an autobiographical play named for the shocking statistic that one in two Black men in America who have sex with other men will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime. Love brings this statistic to life through the story of one character – a young man named Donté, who is diagnosed with HIV. The play follows Dontéthrough his experiences in a bar, the bedroom, a waiting room, a medical office, and in his childhood. The New York Times said, “Defiantly life-embracing, it’s a call to action over what Love describes as “a hidden state of emergency” in his own community.” Love has become recognized as one of America’s leading young African American playwrights. one in two
