A Pulitzer Prize-winning play that questions whether we can ever truly escape the confines of our upbringing and our heritage.
“A continuously engaging, vitally engaged play about thorny questions of identity and religion in the contemporary world, with an accent on the incendiary topic of how radical Islam and the terrorism it inspires have affected the public discourse.” The New York Times
New York. Today. Corporate lawyer Amir Kapoor is happy, in love, and about to land the biggest career promotion of his life. But beneath the veneer, success has come at a price. When Amir and his artist wife, Emily, host an intimate dinner party at their Upper East Side apartment, what starts out as a friendly conversation soon escalates into something far more damaging.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 2013, Disgraced premiered in Chicago before transferring to New York’s Lincoln Center in 2012.
This new Modern Classics edition features an introduction by J.T. Rogers.
