Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })I and You is a play written by Lauren Gunderson, first preformed in 2013.The play centers around high-school basketball player Anthony's attempt to enlist his classmate Caroline to help him complete his English assignment on Walt Whitman's book Leaves of Grass which he'd put off until the day before it was due. Caroline hasn't physically been to school in months due her failing liver, but due to her determination to finish school as normal Anthony is eventually able to persuade her to at least hear him out.While Caroline is hostile and short-tempered, it quickly becomes apparent that she hasn't been able to interact with anyone but her mom and her doctors for longer than she cares to discuss, and that the stress of managing not only her rapidly declining health but her family's grief about it is wearing her down. As they work together the two slowly open up to other about their dreams and fears, as well as a private grief of his own that Anthony is carrying.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })It won the 2014 Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award, and was a finalist for the 2014 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

Adorkable: Anthony genuinely loves jazz music and poetry, and his attempts to explain why to Caroline are both extremely dorky and extremely sweet, especially when she plays along and he gets so swept up in happiness that he forgets all about the homework project.

The Ace: Discussed. Caroline accuses Anthony of being "the perfect son", pointing out that he's popular in school, gets good grades, is a member of the basketball team as well as a saxophone player, and is a lover of poetry and jazz music. He argues against her, pointing out that people liking him doesn't mean that he's a perfect person and sharing some of his flaws.
