Vagabond Players continues its 106th season with the explosive Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar.
Amir, a successful Pakistani-American lawyer, has turned his back on his culture and heritage in pursuit of the American Dream – living a life of luxury with a beautiful Caucasian wife and lucrative promotion within his grasp. However, Amir’s world rapidly implodes at a dinner party with his African-American co-worker and her Jewish husband, where beliefs about race and religious identity are ruthlessly shattered.
Disgraced is a thrilling and controversial play that questions whether we can ever truly escape the confines of our upbringing and our heritage. Variety calls Disgraced, “…a blistering social drama about the racial prejudices that secretly persist in social circles…Ahktar knows how to build a scene and maintain suspense.”
