Rehearsals have begun for Ayad Akhtar’s 2013 Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Disgraced,” which begins previews June 8, opens June 19 and continues through July 17, 2016, at the Mark Taper Forum.
Directed by Kimberly Senior, the cast features, in alphabetical order, J Anthony Crane, Behzad Dabu, Hari Dhillon, Karen Pittman and Emily Swallow.
In a riveting, contemporary exploration of identity and religion, “Disgraced” follows a married couple living in Upper East Side Manhattan. Amir is a corporate lawyer and Emily an artist, and though Amir was raised Muslim, he has left his heritage behind. The couple hosts a small dinner party and soon, before anyone can stop it, polite protocol is abandoned and the talk turns to religion, politics and sex.
