About the production
Zarina, a brilliant Pakistani-American writer, is finishing a provocative novel about women and Islam. When her devout father and sister discover it, the family is forced to confront what they believe.
“Kimberly Senior's clean and clear direction serves the work expertly.”
— New York Daily News, Joe Dziemianowicz
“'The Who & the What', tautly directed by Kimberly Senior, explores intergenerational and interfaith conflicts with fluid eloquence and intelligence.”
— The New York Times, Charles Isherwood
“Akhtar's text teems with big ideas that could easily crash together in a dissonant mess. Under Kimberly Senior's steady direction, they come together in a powerful symphony that packs a dynamite punch, but will keep you laughing throughout.”
— TheaterMania, Zachary Stewart
