Ayad Akhtar’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Disgracedpremieres next month atSydney Theatre Company.
Directed by STC Resident Director Sarah Goodes, thesociopolitical drama explores notions of self-identity,politics and religion in modern America.
Amir Kapoor is a talentedManhattan lawyer about to land a big promotion. When he and hisartist wife, Emily, host an intimate dinner party, the mood soon changes from happy and relaxed to something much darker.
