DISGRACED
BY AYAD AKHTAR
DIRECTED BY: JOANIE MCELROY
In Ayad Akhtar’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Disgraced, a successful Pakistani-American attorney, Amir Kapoor, seems to have it all—career, culture, and a picture-perfect life in Manhattan with his artist wife, Emily. But during a dinner party with colleagues, a conversation about religion, identity, and politics begins to unravel everything Amir thought he knew about himself and his place in the world.
As tensions rise and truths are revealed, the evening takes a sharp turn—exposing deep prejudices, personal betrayals, and the cost of assimilation. Disgraced is a gripping, thought-provoking exploration of race, faith, and the complicated layers of modern identity in post-9/11 America.
Timely, tense, and unflinching, this explosive drama challenges audiences to confront uncomfortable questions with honesty and empathy.
