Nilaja Sun

[2] Sun has featured in TV shows and movies, including The Bourne Legacy (2012), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (2004–2006), and 30 Rock (2008–2012).

[3] Her most famous work, No Child..., follows the story of Miss Sun, a visiting teacher in a 10th grade classroom at Malcolm X High School in the Bronx.

[2] The story is narrated by the school's longtime janitor and follows the character's ups and downs as Miss Sun directs them in the performance of Timberlake Wertenbaker's 1988 play Our Country's Good, which in turn tells an 18th-century story of a British lieutenant directing a group of Australian convicts in the production of George Farquhar's 1706 comedy The Recruiting Officer.

[2] No Child... is filled with humor, but representative of the experiences of children and teachers in under-resourced public schools across the United States.

[5] Sun chose this title in hopes that the audience would make a connection to education and able finish the phrase No Child... with what the play meant to them.
