Jamal’s mother and her estranged husband rush to the police station when their son's car has been pulled over in a certain part of town. With no answers forthcoming and emotions building, this highly-charged drama twists, turns and builds to an explosive conclusion. American Son, recipient of the Laurents/Hatcher Foundation award for a new play by an emerging playwright, is certain to challenge assumptions and ignite conversations regarding recent events and the increasing racial divide in this country.
