Disgraced at Mark Taper Forum

Identity, heritage and passion collide in Disgraced, a riveting exploration of the stories we tell our friends, the secrets we tell our lovers, and the lies we tell ourselves in order to find our place in the American Dream. Ayad Akhtar's 2013 Pulitzer Prize-winning play -- a potently funny tale of big-city aspiration and cultural assimilation -- dares to face the truth hiding just below the deception. Winner of the Pulitzer for Drama in 2013 and a 2015 Tony nominee for Best Play, this fascinating, powerful and bracing drama centers around a Pakistani-American lawyer who hosts a dinner party for a black co-worker and her Jewish husband. When Disgraced comes to L.A.'s Mark Taper Forum, you'll witness idle dinner party chit-chat exploding into the kind of rollicking, no-holds-barred argument that makes for truly delicious theater. This production contains strong language and violence and is recommended for audience members ages 16 and older.
