World Premiere of A DISTINCT SOCIETY to be Presented at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley in April
Giovanna Sardelli will direct this drama celebrating the human spirit during crises that divide.
TheatreWorks Silicon Valley will present the World Premiere of A Distinct Society, presented in association with Pioneer Theatre Company. In this moving play by Kareem Fahmy, a quiet library that straddles the United States and Canada becomes the battlefield for border control.
As an Iranian family separated by the Muslim travel ban seeks refuge within its doors, the library's occupants grapple with the power of the law versus the powers of the heart. An audience favorite from the 2021 TheatreWorks New Works Festival Online, TheatreWorks Artistic Associate and Director of New Works Giovanna Sardelli will direct this drama celebrating the human spirit during crises that divide.
Previews will take place Wednesday, April 5 - Friday, April 7, 2023. The production will open on Saturday, April 8, 2023, and run through Sunday, April 30, 2023.
