About the production
At a dinner party in a successful Pakistani-American lawyer’s Upper East Side apartment, a friendly conversation about art, faith and identity turns explosive, and everything he has built comes under threat.
“Kimberly Senior manages the shifting tone and steady build of Akhtar's script skillfully.”
— Village Voice, Michael Feingold
“'Disgraced', in a sleek production directed by Kimberly Senior, is a continuously engaging, vitally engaged play.”
— New York Times, Charles Isherwood
“Dynamically staged by helmer Kimberly Senior and earnestly acted by a cast topped by Aasif Mandvi ("The Daily Show"), this play has "Transfer me!" written all over its face.”
— Variety, Marilyn Stasio
“The play's action is expertly guided by director Kimberly Senior so that the play's numerous plot twists – several of which come in rapid succession – never seem forced. Instead, the humor of the writing, the richness of the characterization, and the complexity of the play's handling of race politics all shine through clearly”
— TheaterMania, Dan Bacalzo
