Winner of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this searing and provocative new play focuses on a dinner party between four friends (white, black, Jewish, Muslim) which quickly turns into a combustible powder keg of identity politics. American-born and Muslim-raised lawyer Amir has cast his religion aside to further his career, but when the opportunity comes to defend the rights of a Mosque centered in Manhattan, the pull of his faith comes calling. Perfectly timed around the election, DISGRACED is a pulse-pounding drama that tackles Islamophobia, prejudice in a post 9/11 world and self-reflection, that is sure to challenge and move audiences.
