Direct from a sold-out Broadway run, Pulitzer Prize-winner Ayad Akhtar’s thrilling and darkly comic new work follows Jacob McNeal — a brilliant yet dangerously charming novelist obsessed with his own genius. On the eve of his greatest achievement, his thirst for whiskey, fractured relationships, and curious fascination with artificial intelligence threatens to unravel everything.You’ll experience jaw-dropping projections and special effects at this opening production in the new Herro-Franke Studio Theater, asMcNealexplores the price of greatness and raises vital questions about art, truth and originality in the not-too-distant future.
“A brilliant and transfixing new play... Akhtar goes to a place that few writers have visited so effectively.” – The Atlantic
By Ayad Akhtar
Directed by Mark Clements
