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 a lucrative promotion within his grasp. Ayad Ahktar’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama shows how Amir’s world rapidly implodes at a dinner party with his African-American co-worker and her Jewish husband that shatters relationships and everyone’s beliefs about race and religious identity.

Show contains strong language and subject matter – Recommended for mature audiences.


…a blistering social drama about the racial prejudices that secretly persist in social circles…Ahktar knows how to build a scene and maintain suspense.
