You– the City was an intimate Manhattanwide play for an audience of one. On keeping an appointment at an office in Times Square, a client (audience member) was passed through a series of mainly scripted encounters at both indoor and outdoor locations in Midtown and the Westside of Manhattan, including a church, an apartment, a car ride, and reaching a climax of realization when the client became the object of one of the various handoffs in a Hell's Kitchen playground. YOU-the City was produced in New York City in 1988. It was re-produced in London in 1989 by the London International Festival of Theater. A production in The Hague took place in 1990. Roof's publication of YOU-the City includes the original New York script of the performance, performance instructions, notes, maps, charts, and photographs of the event as it was played out.
