PULITZER PRIZE FOR DRAMA OBIE AWARD, BEST PLAYWRITING New York Times Ten Best Plays of 2012
One Dangerous Dinner Party
An upwardly mobile Pakistani-American lawyer has achieved success while distancing himself from his Muslim heritage. When he and his wife host a dinner party, friendly conversation turns to politics and religion, escalating into something far more dangerous in this breathtaking comedy-drama.
This powerful drama about racial and religious identity in American culture includes adult language and subject matter as well as moments of violence that might be inappropriate for younger audience members. We recommend Disgraced for patrons ages 16 and older.
