...an intellectually engaging play on a politically provocative topic.
Variety
Ayad Akhtar's 2013 Pulitzer Prize winner, and 2015 Tony Award nominated play about social prejudices explodes onto the stage at the O'Reilly Theatre. The play follows an ill-fated dinner party held by Pakistan-American lawyer Amir and his wife Emily for his African American colleague and her Jewish husband. The evening starts off pleasantly enough, however as the drinks flow and the clock ticks, racial tensions come to the fore and culminate in a blistering argument about religion, race and politics between the four very different people.
The play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and an Obie Award for Playwriting, both in 2013, and premiered in 2012 in Chicago, after which it ran Off-Broadway at the Lincoln Center Theater.
Amir Kapoor is a successful lawyer of Pakistani ethnicity, living and working in New York City, in a post 9/11 world. Married to Emily, a white American artist whose work is influenced heavily by Muslim culture and religion, they seem to be living a happy and tolerant life. However When Amir and Emily, have his African-American colleague and her Jewish husband over for dinner one night, things take a heated turn when the discussion turns to a controversial case that Amir has become involved in. Their jovial mood soon disintegrates as sensitive subjects of race, religion and identity are raised.
