It's the highly anticipated world premiere of Jack Perla and Rajiv Joseph’s "Shalimar the Clown," based on the much-admired novel by Salman Rushdie.

Shalimar and his beloved Boonyi grow up together in a pastoral Kashmiri village, making people laugh as acrobats and dancers in a traditional folk theater. They fall in love, a youthful romance that culminates in a joyful wedding. But when the new American ambassador meets Boonyi, he seduces with the promise of a new life, sending Shalimar down a dangerous path of revenge.
