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.
“Under Kimberly Senior's bracing direction, get ready to gasp.”
— NY1, Roma Torre
“Director Kimberly Senior's production deftly modulates its way through the play's seismic mood shifts.”
— The Hollywood Reporter, David Rooney
“Mr. Akhtar's play, which was first seen in New York in 2012 and went on to win the Pulitzer Prize, has come roaring back to life on Broadway in a first-rate production directed by Kimberly Senior that features an almost entirely new cast.” “Ms. Senior...continues to find fresh currents of dramatic electricity”
— The New York Times, Charles Isherwood
“Senior ... lets the tension build naturally, the dialogue slows when it needs to and the violence shocks and repulses.”
— Associated Press, Mark Kennedy
“Kimberly Senior is again with the production to steer the excellent current cast through the high-speed, highly charged events.”
— CurtainUp, Elyse Sommer
