Disgraced: World-Premiere Play From Ayad Akhtar (The War Within)
- Full Price:
- $35.00
- Our Price:
- $17.50
American Theater Company presents the world-premiere of Disgraced, a drama penned by actor-playwright Ayad Akhtar (who co-wrote and starred in the award-winning 2005 film The War Within). This play, directed by Kimberly Senior and featuring ATC Ensemble member Usman Ally, centers around a Pakistani-American lawyer who's struggling to climb the slippery corporate ladder -- and to define his identity -- in the face of personal and professional betrayal. ATC teamed with the Broadway producers of Urinetown and last season's A View From the Bridge to present this penetrating examination of a modern Muslim-American experience. Learn More

Any opportunity to see now NYC-based American Theater Company founding member KATE BUDDEKE on stage here is not to be missed and this play of corporate manners serves her and fellow cast members fairly well in its 90 minute running time,directed by Chicago returnee NORA DUNN.The most recent time I'd seen her on stage was in the Broadway revival of GYSPY with Bernadette Peters,for which she received a Tony nomination,as one of the strippers.Her performanceWritten on Feb 25 2008
are always ones of unflinching honesty and humanity.May she be able
to return more often.

Considering the great deal it was, the play was Ok. When you consider we got the tickets for a Saturday night. I guess you could say the best part was the great deal we got on the tickets.Written on Feb 18 2008
