DISGRACED

Race, religion, and culture--maybe these aren't the safest topics for a dinner party, but they all come bubbling up to the surface in this edgy, emotional, and fast-paced drama about a mixed-race professional couple who suddenly find that their dreams may be at risk. Played by an ensemble of some of Hollywood's most in-demand character actors, Amir (Hari Dhillon) has left his Pakistani upbringing far behind to climb the social ladder as a successful corporate lawyer, while his artist wife (Emily Swallow) is fascinated by Islamic motifs he has no interest in. When their guests arrive, it appears they may know something that Amir and Emily don't. This audio production is just as powerful and controversial as the original 2013 Pulitzer Prize-winning stage production. B.P. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2018]
