From the Headlines to the Footlights: The Enduring, Worldwide Relevancy of Ayad Akhtar’s DisgracedBy Thomas Connors

Ayad Akhtar’s globally-minded drama Disgraced was certainly timely when it premiered in early 2012. And in light of subsequent events, from the advances of ISIS, to the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, the play—which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama on April 15, 2013, the day of the Boston Marathon bombing—has lost none of its relevance. In fact, 32 productions of the play will be staged worldwide over the next two years.

Disgraced revolves around Amir, a Pakistani-born apostate living the good life as a successful lawyer in New York. But once the World Trade Center is sent crashing down so too does his carefully wrought sense of self. That history-altering event propelled Akhtar into his own period of contemplation and questioning and on course to write a seven-piece cycle of works that attempt to offer, as he explains, “a full-bodied, contradictory, multi-valance portrait of Muslim-American life at this moment.” The characters in these works, which also include his novel American Dervish, as well as the plays The Who and The What and The Invisible Hand, “deal with the challenges of faith and identity in the modern world,” according to Akhtar. “This is a very confused time for the Muslim community in America, but also a very rich one.”

Raised in Milwaukee by Pakistani immigrant physician parents and educated at Brown University and Columbia University, Akhtar recalls his upbringing taking place in “an odd community, in the sense that you had all kinds of people hanging out who probably wouldn’t spend time together back home. Just because they all spoke the same language, ate the same food and came from the same country.”

Akhtar’s early religious experiences were varied. He describes his father as “a militant atheist” and his mother’s creed as “an American individualist spirituality with an Islamic cast—Oprah meets Emerson.” But he was close to his deeply observant aunt, and he maintains an urge to process the mysteries of faith. “I don’t take any particular expression of religious truth as having any ultimate reality. I find meaning in Judaism and Christianity. And Islam. It’s an important part of my life and many of my characters’ lives, whether they are reacting to it and try to understand or undermine it.”

Like many immigrant and first generation Americans, Akhtar had to negotiate those byways on the road of the American Dream peculiar to the newcomer. As the complexion of the country shifts, that experience is becoming increasingly central in the lives of numerous citizens. Akhtar’s own journey included a not-uncommon period of dissociation, marked by the determination to be perceived solely as an American and not a hyphenated resident of the United States.

Sri Lankan-born actor Bernard White, who plays Amir in the Goodman production, experienced similar issues after relocating to the Midwest with his family at a young age. “On spiritual, emotional, political and cultural levels, this play is very close to home and heart,” he said. “My father was adamant that we mark the ‘Caucasian’ box on all forms. He saw that it was very important to align with the white majority in order to receive the privileges of the new country.”

Co-star J. Anthony Crane, who portrays Isaac, an art dealer, believes the play requires audiences to reexamine the country’s social progress. “We’re dealing with a time in America where we feel we’ve answered so many questions about how we perceive each other based on class, color and religion, but we’ve barely scratched the surface,” he suggests. “We’ve given ourselves permission not to care about these things anymore. I don’t know if Disgraced makes any decisions or answers any questions for us, but it certainly makes us well aware that they still need to be asked.”

Although it is natural to focus on how the cultural specifics of Akhtar’s works spark discourse about contemporary society in general, the playwright himself sees even deeper currents at work in our world today. “If I am really honest about all this, we are dealing with much, much bigger problems,” he states. “The tectonic shift, the seismic shudders that have hit the geo-political order of the last 15 or 20 years, are not just about tribalism and race. They have to do with globalization and the increasing anxiety of the species on some level.”

Whether or not one admits a connection between the perceived hegemony of the one percent and, say, the devastating inroads of ISIS, there seems to be no question that the world—even here at home—has become increasingly defined as a matter of us-and-them. No playwright can hope to succeed where the United Nations and Congress have faltered. But as Zakiya Young, who plays Jory, an African American lawyer at Amir’s firm, expresses, “My hope is that after seeing the show, people will begin to have conversations they may not have felt comfortable having before, and that these conversations will lead us to greater acceptance and respect for our similarities and differences.”

Disgraced: A Production History

Now among the most celebrated plays in America, Disgraced will soon become one of the most performed, with more than 30 productions scheduled worldwide in the next two years. Read below for a production history of the play.

FALL 2010 Disgraced, one of four new plays Ayad Akhtar has composed over eight months, receives its first public reading, sponsored by AracaWorks, a program of Araca Productions, which would eventually produce the play on Broadway. The reading is held in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, part of New York’s Roundabout Theatre Company complex.

JANUARY–MARCH 2012 Disgraced receives its first full production at Chicago’s American Theatre Company, directed by Kimberly Senior. Earning overwhelmingly positive reviews, the production also receives the Jeff Award for Best New Work.

OCTOBER-DECEMBER 2012 The play receives its first New York staging at Lincoln Center Theater’s LCT3, again under Senior’s direction. Featuring Aasaf Mandvi as Amir, the play receives an Obie Award and is nominated for the Outer Critics Circle’s John Gassner Award.

APRIL 2013 Disgraced receives the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

MAY-JUNE 2013 The play receives its first international production at London’s Bush Theatre, directed by Nadia Fall. Hari Dhillon plays Amir, a role he will reprise on Broadway.

OCTOBER 2014-MARCH 2015 Disgraced comes to Broadway’s Lyceum Theatre, once again under the direction of Senior. The production stars Dhillon, Gretchen Mol, Josh Radnor, Karen Pittman and Danny Ashok and earns a Tony Award nomination for Best Play.

SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2015 Goodman Theatre opens its 91st season with Disgraced, again directed by Senior. Among the cast is Behzad Dabu, an original cast member of American Theatre Company’s production.

A Set Designer’s Perspective

Disgraced unfolds in the luxurious Manhattan apartment of wealthy lawyer Amir Kapoor and his wife Emily. Tony Award-winning set designer John Lee Beatty was tasked with creating the Upper East Side abode, filling the apartment with the glamorous amenities laid out in the script by Ayad Akhtar, including parquet floors, crown molding, a marble fireplace and paintings that create a “lustrous and magnetic” effect. A sketch below shows Beatty’s initial vision for the couple’s home.

Disgraced and Islamic Art: The Gap Between Optics and TruthBy Jonathan L. Green

In the opening moments of Ayad Akhtar’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Disgraced, we see an intimate image: Emily, a young, white artist, is sketching her husband Amir, a well-to-do Pakistani American lawyer. Emily reveals that the idea for this new sketch was inspired both by a minor run-in with a racist waiter the night before, as well as Diego Velázquez’s 1650 portrait of Juan de Pareja. “You made him see that gap. Between what he was assuming about you, and what you really are,” Emily says of the interaction with the waiter. Emily also notes original viewers of Velázquez’s portrait of de Pareja, who was his slave and studio assistant, thought they were “looking at a picture of a Moor. An assistant… [But] that portrait has more nuance, complexity, life than his paintings of kings and queens.” The inspirations for both artworks stem from brown skin, from Orientalism (a Western stereotyping of the cultures of the Middle East, Asia and North Africa) or its progeny Islamophobia. Both inspirations deal with the difference between appearance and truth.

That Emily’s figurative drawing of Amir is the first thing seen on stage is telling of Amir’s relationship with Islam, the religion taught in his home during his youth. In many cases Islam as a religion is traditionally aniconic, eschewing figurative art, and instead embracing elaborate geometric patterns and calligraphy (though there are exceptions to this, especially from cultures within the Mughal Empire). Creating images of God and the Prophet Muhammad is strictly forbidden in nearly all practices of Islam, but many Sunni hadith (reports of the deeds and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad) are interpreted, especially in more conservative practices, as forbidding man-made images of sentient beings in general. “Angels of mercy do not enter a house where there are pictures,” says one hadith. Another translation reads, “The people who will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection will be those who try to make the like of God’s creations.” God is here likened to an artist, a creator, and humans striving to imitate God’s act of creation commit heresy. To attempt to show the living “truth” of a person or project one’s soul in something man-made can be sacrilege. There is a similar aniconic prohibition against the imaging of God in the teachings of Judaism, though for the majority of the history of the Christian church, there is a rich tradition of the imaging of Jesus and other holy figures.

In Disgraced, Amir describes himself as an apostate—in his adolescence, he shed the conservative Islamic traditions taught by his parents. Emily is also irreligious—she serves pork during a dinner party to other agnostic characters raised Muslim and Jewish, though both religions forbid the consumption of the meat. Today, people frequently confuse race and religion. Even in the secular

world of Disgraced, Amir must deal with how others see him, as they wield racial prejudices and the expansive USA Patriot Act, to mistake his ethnicity for his religious beliefs.

Though Emily is not Muslim, her art practice often engages with forms traditional to Islamic art—geometry, patterning, tiling, tessellation, developing incredible ingenuity and complexity from a simple grid—that celebrate Islamic tenets of unity, peace, perspective and universality, and avoids idolatry. One such piece hangs in her and Amir’s living room above the mantle, all blues and whites, “lustrous and magnetic,” as the script describes the art work in the stage directions. This new portrait of Amir stands out from the rest—it’s figurative, representational. Compared to her other artwork, the portrait is unusual and certainly from a more Western tradition. Emily’s friend Isaac, taken by her Islam-inspired work, playfully accuses her of Orientalism. “You’ve even got the brown husband,” he jokes. She counters, saying, “We’ve all gotten way too wrapped up in the optics… We’ve forgotten to look at things for what they really are.”

Of course, Emily’s statement can also apply to the prejudices, fears and power dynamics of the world of Akhtar’s story. Orientalist beliefs target “Eastern” ethnicity, but starting in the 1990s (and especially after the September 11 attacks of 2001), we’ve seen a cultural and societal shift in some areas from American Orientalism to American Islamophobia: destructive stereotypes of the ethnic “Arab” (like the Arab oil barons in the 1981 film Rollover or the Arab terrorists in 1976’s Black Sunday) have transitioned to hateful stereotypes of Muslims, regardless of the actual religious beliefs or ethnicities of their targets. The Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 allowed the US government to target and prosecute non-profit Muslim charities sending aid to the underserved in predominantly Muslim areas, based on charges that they were supporting “terrorist” organizations. Simple figural traits, like having brown skin, or wearing a turban or veil, can incite hate and violence. In the months following the September 11 attacks, for example, reports of murders and assaults of not only practicing Muslims but also Sikh Indians, Indian Hindus, Coptic Christians and others increased 1500% as anti-Muslim sentiment swept across America, despite the fact that the attacked victims did not practice Islam or were not of Arab descent. At that same time, a disturbing Gallup poll showed that roughly one third of Americans supported the idea of internment of Muslim Arab Americans. Muslim immigrants were targeted and surveilled through the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System. In the 2008 presidential election, then-candidate Barack Obama was repeatedly accused of being secretly Muslim and therefore unfit for national leadership—something he denied but stopped short of calling problematic and racist.

In Disgraced, Amir has made the personal and complicated decision to separate himself from his religious and cultural upbringing many years prior to the beginning of the play. He married a white woman and has a high-paying job at a mostly Jewish law firm. He wears high-end suits and crisp $600 dress shirts. And yet, despite all efforts to seem wholly Western, Amir still must submit himself to manual searches at the security line in the airport. When he makes an off-hand comment to the media about a local imam in legal trouble, eyebrows raise. In a representational society where skin color can determine one’s fate far more easily than skill or character, “optics” have great power.

Misrepresentation begins first with simplified representation—these are the building blocks of stereotyping and, further, racializing—whether in 2-D art or in popular society. In his blistering play Akhtar challenges our perceptions of what it means to misrepresent and to be misrepresented: what are we showing when we depict another person, whether in art, word or deed? What are we showing when we reveal or hide depictions of ourselves? Amir’s ancestral culture placed great value on character, on belief, on truth, shunning representative figuration, relying instead on principles of unity and universality. On what sort of representation does our own culture place value?

A Closer Look at Diego Velázquez’s Portrait of Juan de Pareja

By Rachel Weinberg

In Disgraced, Emily’s portrait of her husband in the style of Diego de Silva y Velázquez’s 1650 Portrait of Juan de Pareja becomes one of the central images of the play. Regarded as one of the finest painters of the Baroque period, the Seville-born Velázquez (1599–1660) was not born into a noble family but gained status as the court painter for King Philip IV of Spain.

The painting of Velázquez’s assistant Juan de Pareja represents a more personal side of the artist’s work. Velázquez created the painting during a trip to Italy in preparation for his commissioned portrait of Pope Innocent X. Like Velázquez, Pareja was born in the Andalusia region of Spain. Pareja likely served as Velazquez’s slave and was freed in 1654. Some sources dispute Pareja’s slave status, however, as he was registered as a painter—a profession prohibited to slaves—as early as 1630.

Velázquez’s portrait of Pareja possesses an informality and unique intimacy likely due to their close relationship. Art historians commend the painting’s incredible lifelike quality. In the portrait, Pareja gazes directly at the viewer, which gives him an inherent strength, and the portrait conveys an overwhelming sense of human dignity. Velázquez treats Pareja with the same respect and solemnity seen in his royal portraits. Emily likely identifies with this overarching sense of humanity and hopes to emulate this quality in her painting of her husband.

A Conversation with Disgraced Playwright Ayad Akhtar and Kimberly Senior

Disgraced, by playwright, novelist, screenwriter and actor Ayad Akhtar, premiered in Chicago in 2012 at American Theatre Company. The play then went on to New York’s Lincoln Center Theater, subsequently won the Pulitzer Prize, and later transferred to Broadway where it earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Play. Chicago-based director Kimberly Senior (Goodman Theatre’s Rapture, Blister, Burn) has accompanied Akhtar at every step of the play’s continued journey, helming the original Chicago production as well as both New York mountings. Now Akhtar and Senior return to Chicago to present a new production of the gripping drama. Akhtar and Senior spoke with the production’s dramaturg Jonathan L. Green about their enduring collaboration.

Jonathan L. Green: Ayad, in the published version of this script you make a note that although Disgraced is a play dealing with big ideas, it’s actually written to be entertainment: comedy, thriller, tragedy. Why did you feel this story needed to be a play rather than a book or screenplay?

Ayad Akhtar: I got to a point where I was writing screenplays, but none of the films I wrote were getting made. I knew I wanted to write a play ever since college, but I never really did it. I had ideas for different stories, and all that just started percolating into something about this character Amir. The earliest draft of the play, which very few people have seen, begins with a monologue that Amir delivers to the audience. He’s remembering and talking about this dinner party, and that’s how it started. I just followed it from there.

Kimberly Senior: Having also read your novel, American Dervish, I believe there is something to the medium of theater that denies the audience an interior experience [inside the minds] of the characters. That’s essential to Disgraced. We are constantly assessing people’s motives and allegiances and constantly switching sides. We are presented solely with what they say and do. We don’t get to know what they think. Whereas [Akhtar’s novel] is intended as a partnership with the reader; [in the novel] we know what’s going on inside the characters’ heads.

JLG: The play’s protagonist is a Muslim-raised apostate and many religions are discussed in the play. Did your religious or irreligious upbringings affect your work on the play?

KS: In a larger sense, when an audience interacts with Disgraced, they think they’re signed up to align with the person who looks most like them or who has the same background. They find very quickly that’s not the case. As an Arab-Jewish woman, I never feel more Jewish than when I am the only Jew in the room. And the least Jewish I’ve felt in my entire life was when I visited Israel. You have no need

to assert yourself then. But when I’m sitting in a room full of white people, then I’m like, “Oh, by the way, I’m only half white.” The play makes the characters have to stand by their identities in a way that they might not otherwise because each of them is a minority. They have to defend their point of view. The play made me assess that. Which of these traditions do I practice? Are they old and meaningless, or actually valuable?

JLG: Kimberly remarked earlier that the characters in Disgraced are all, in a way, minorities. They’re heartfelt and also very conflicted and complicated. Have you seen any particular embrace or push-back from any communities—religious, ethnic or otherwise?

AA: Both embrace and rejection. And very, very vigorous. The play seems to function as a weird kind of litmus test. It tells you where you are in society and has the capacity to connect people to themselves in a more heartfelt way, and to connect them to others as well. I know a lot of people resist that. Some people feel like the mirror aspect says stuff it shouldn’t say, and some people feel the mirror does stuff it shouldn’t do. I’ve gotten an equal amount of feedback from both sides of the Muslim community with some people asking, “Why are you doing this?” and others saying, “Thank God you are doing this!”

JLG: Kimberly, you made your Broadway debut directing this play, but you’ve been directing in Chicago for years. What was your Broadway experience like, in contrast to working in some of Chicago’s biggest and smallest theaters?

KS: The amount of work, the love and everything that I put into the play is the same whether the theater is above a Mexican restaurant or on [Broadway]. The language I use and the way that I speak about the work is the same. The biggest thing is in the difference between commercial and non-profit theater. Directing Disgraced for the Goodman, I’m part of the theater’s rich history; I’m on a continuum of American theater that’s happening here. There’s a whole machine working to make this play and many other plays happen. Whereas on Broadway, I was the theater company. You know? That was it. I was like the creative head of a theater company called Disgraced. It’s very different making a singular entity in that way. I couldn’t have done it without all 20 of those years of making plays in Chicago storefronts and the confidence that I’ve gained from so many fantastic people here.

Notes

Why Disgraced?

It begins innocuously enough. A young, upwardly mobile Wall Street attorney (and lapsed Muslim) and his beautiful, idealistic (and Caucasian) artist wife are throwing a small dinner party for a similarly successful couple, a Jewish art curator (who’s about to feature his hostess’ paintings in a new show) and his African American wife, another rising young lawyer who works in the same office as her host. At first the talk is mundane but cordial: the latest loss by the Knicks, a fancy dessert picked up at Magnolia Bakery, gossipy chat about the law firm’s senior partners and the latest trends in downtown art. But slowly the Scotch-fueled discussion ventures into more complicated territory: musings about race and culture, power and privilege and the seething tensions triggered by religious tenets and practices from antiquity to today. As theoretical discussion morphs into personal revelation and private concerns become public, a celebratory dinner among four smart, engaging and personable friends becomes something dramatically different.

This is the central event of Ayad Akhtar’s vivid and controversial Pulitzer Prize-winning play Disgraced. After premiering at Chicago’s American Theatre Company in 2012, the play received subsequent productions (first at Lincoln Center Theater in New York, then on Broadway, where it received a Best Play Tony Award nomination). The play garnered critical raves and fueled heated audience response to its exploration of identity, religion, politics and class in the bewilderingly complex, “politically correct” landscape of 21st century urban America. Amir, the aforementioned

attorney at the center of the play, has distanced himself from the religious principles of his youth as he aims for success in his career—but he finds that the costs of that disassociation may be more profound than he could imagine. At the same time, his wife Emily celebrates the Muslim world in her life and her work, without completely understanding the tensions inherent in her adoration for (or appropriation of) another culture. Wittily engaging and rigorously smart, Disgraced is neither a solemn political polemic nor an impassioned plea for a particular point of view. The play presents successful and intelligent characters forced to grapple with questions and challenges that cannot be readily addressed or easily solved in a society whose quest for correctness and justice may have resulted in neither.

I am very pleased to welcome director Kimberly Senior (whose production of Rapture, Blister, Burn was one of the highlights of our 2014/2015 Season) back to the Goodman to bring this brilliant play to the Albert stage—fittingly, since she has shepherded it from its first off-Loop production to its recent success on Broadway.

Ultimately, of course, there are no easy answers to the questions that Disgraced explores with devastating humor and explosive emotion; they are the questions that we must all wrestle as we negotiate the cultural minefield that is America in the 21st century.

History

Called America’s “Best Regional Theatre” by Time magazine, Goodman Theatre has won international recognition for its artists, productions and programs, and is a major cultural, educational and economic pillar in Chicago. Founded in 1925 by William O. Goodman and his family in honor of their son Kenneth (an important figure in Chicago’s cultural renaissance in the early 1900s), Goodman Theatre has garnered hundreds of awards for artistic achievement and community engagement, including Tony Awards and two Pulitzer Prizes. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Robert Falls and Executive Director Roche Schulfer, the Goodman’s priorities include new plays (over 100 world or American premieres in the past 30 years), reimagined classics (including Falls’ nationally and internationally celebrated productions of Death of a Salesman, Long’s Day’s Journey into Night, King Lear and The Iceman Cometh, many in collaboration with actor Brian Dennehy), culturally specific work, musical theater (26 major productions in 20 years, including 10 world premieres) and international collaborations. Diversity and inclusion are primary cornerstones of the Goodman’s mission; over the past 25 years, more than one-third of Goodman productions (including 31 world premieres) have featured artists of color, and the Goodman was the first theater in the world to produce all 10 plays in August Wilson’s “American Century Cycle.” Each year the Goodman’s numerous education and community engagement programs, including the innovative Student Subscription Series, serve thousands of students, teachers, life-long learners and special constituencies. In addition, for nearly four decades the annual holiday tradition of A Christmas Carol has led to the creation of a new generation of theatregoers in Chicago.

Goodman Theatre’s leadership includes the distinguished members of the Artistic Collective: Brian Dennehy, Rebecca Gilman, Henry Godinez, Steve Scott, Chuck Smith, Regina Taylor, Henry Wishcamper and Mary Zimmerman. The Chairman of Goodman Theatre’s Board of Trustees is Joan E. Clifford; Swati Mehta is President of the Woman’s Board.

From the Goodman Archives: The Visit, 2001Goodman Theatre’s 2001/2002 Season opener featured a true Broadway legend: Chita Rivera in the world premiere of John Kander and Fred Ebb’s musical version of Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s The Visit. A darkly comic parable of failed romance, greed and revenge, the musical featured Rivera in the role of Claire Zachanassian. Now the world’s wealthiest woman, Claire has come home to Brachen,

Switzerland, possibly to offer assistance to the now-impoverished village—and to reconnect with Anton, the shopkeeper who loved, then abandoned her. Featuring a subversively romantic score, a libretto by Terrence McNally, direction by Frank Galati and dances by the incomparable Ann Reinking, The Visit won plaudits from Goodman audiences and critics; but hopes for a Broadway transfer dimmed in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Revivals of the show in 2008 (at Washington’s Signature Theatre) and 2014 (at the Williamstown Theatre Festival) kept interest alive, though, and on March 26, 2015, The Visit made a long-anticipated Broadway debut—once again starring the redoubtable Ms. Rivera, who received a Tony Award nomination for her performance.

New Voices and New Stories: The Annual New Stages Festival (October 28–November 15)

Dear Audience Member,

Each fall for the last 11 years, the Goodman’s artistic staff has had the opportunity to pull back the curtain and invite audiences to see the new projects we’ve been researching, developing and dreaming about behind the scenes. Featuring a handful of the best new plays we’ve read over the course of the last year, the annual New Stages Festival serves as a testing ground, drawing our audiences into a conversation about the works we’re considering for future seasons. New Stages also functions as a laboratory where accomplished theater artists from Chicago and around the country can experiment with new and ambitious ideas on a larger scale than many new play development processes allow. The goal is to create a pathway for new plays to move to full productions at the Goodman and the work has paid off: each year since its inception, at least one play from New Stages has gone on to be presented as part of the Goodman’s regular season, including this season’s Feathers and Teeth, Another Word for Beauty, Carlyle and the special theatrical event 2666.

Moving a new play from words on a page to full production is a labor-filled and time-intensive process. The writer often begins in isolation, but by definition a play relies on a group of collaborators–actors, designers, a director–for it to take shape. In spite of the months, sometimes years, of work that goes into the creation of a new play, playwrights often aren’t truly able to see what they’ve created until the moment the play is in front of an audience. With this in mind, the Goodman expanded New Stages in 2011, adding three fully staged developmental productions to its existing lineup of staged readings. These productions, which offer three weeks of rehearsal, modest production values and multiple performances, provide playwrights with all the elements of a full production without some of the pressures of a world premiere–such as the scrutiny of critics.

This year’s plays are wildly ambitious in terms of the scope of stories being told and the theatrical language used to tell them. Full descriptions of the New Stages developmental productions and staged readings follow on the next pages. Remember, tickets to all New Stages readings and productions are free. We hope to see you at the theater, where you will be among the first to see these compelling new stories and take part in the conversation about the future of American theater.

Sincerely,

Tanya PalmerDirector of New Play Development

Mother Road (Developmental production)BY OCTAVIO SOLISDIRECTED BY JULIETTE CARRILLOOctober 28 – November 14

Originally commissioned by the National Steinbeck Center, Octavio Solis’ Mother Road is inspired by John Steinbeck’s Depression-era masterpiece The Grapes of Wrath. Steinbeck’s novel depicts the Joad family’s journey from Oklahoma to California in search of work after they were drove from their home by drought and economic hardship.

Set in the present day, Mother Road serves as a reimagining of Steinbeck’s work. In the play, we meet farmer William Joad, the last remaining member of a branch of the Joad family who stayed behind in Oklahoma. He fought to hold on to the family farm, and now, old and childless, William has no kin left to whom he can pass down the land. He hires a private detective in hopes of finding another surviving member of the Joad clan. The detective proves successful, but the man he finds is not who William expected.

Enter Martín Jodes, a young Mexican American man descended from Steinbeck’s protagonist, Tom Joad. Tom ran off to Mexico, where he raised a family; some of his descendants, including Martín’s mother, returned to California in search of work. And so William Joad meets Martín Jodes in Weedpatch, California, once the government work camp site where Tom Joad and other laborers found work and shelter during the Depression. Now, that same town is home to migrant farm laborers arriving from across the southern border—facing many of the same economic hardships, exploitive work conditions and systemic prejudice that Joad and his fellow Okies faced when they migrated to California over 80 years ago.

What follows is a journey like the one the Joads embarked on in The Grapes of Wrath. Rendered with a combination of mythic theatricality, precisely observed naturalism and raucous humor, Solis’ revisionist look at this quintessentially American story reveals a country that is both changed and unchanged, where the land and its people continue to be in peril, but where home and family can mean safety and survival.

Objects in the Mirror (Developmental production)BY CHARLES SMITHDIRECTED BY CHUCK SMITHOctober 30 – November 15

In 2009, playwright Charles Smith traveled to Adelaide, Australia, to see a production of his play Free Man of Color. The production featured a young Liberian actor named Shedrick Yarkpie in the title role. Impressed by Shedrick’s talent and intrigued by his life story, Smith got to know the actor and learned about his tumultuous journey from war-torn Liberia, through a number of refugee camps in Western Africa, before his final relocation to Australia.

Shedrick came of age during the bloody rule of Charles Taylor, an American-educated freedom fighter turned warlord who served as president of Liberia from 1997 to 2002, during which time he ran the country as a personal fiefdom, looting its resources and instigating rebellion across the region. Opposition to his rule culminated in the outbreak of a civil war that lasted from 1999 to 2003, a conflict marked by its unprecedented use of child soldiers, most of whom were between the ages of eight and 10.

It was from this environment that the young Shedrick escaped with his uncle John, moving from refugee camp to refugee camp in hopes of finding their names on a list of those shortlisted for relocation to the United States. Along the way, Shedrick lost family members to war and disease—and when his dead cousin Zaza’s name appeared on a list of refugees granted asylum in Australia, Shedrick took on his late relative’s identity in order to gain a new home and life.

He arrived safely in Adelaide, but Shedrick Yarkpie had vanished in the rearview mirror, leaving Zaza Workolo in his place. Shedrick lost his country, childhood, family and own name. He’s haunted by the ghost of the cousin and can’t relinquish the person he used to be. Smith, reunited here with longtime collaborator and Goodman Resident Director Chuck Smith, chronicles Shedrick’s quest to recover his sense of self in this moving new play about hope, memory and survival.

King of the Yees (Developmental production)BY LAUREN YEEDIRECTED BY JOSHUA K. BRODYNovember 1 – 15

Visit any Chinatown in America and you will likely find a small sign posted over an inconspicuous door with this family name character: 余

The Yee Fung Toy (the Yee Family Association) originated in 1886 when Yee clansmen immigrated to America during construction of the First Transcontinental Railroad. The men created the association to establish a gathering space for celebrations and social services like medical care and funerals. Since that time, Yee Family Associations have sprung up around the country and world. Only male Yees can join the association and all business is conducted in Cantonese. Larry Yee of San Francisco is one of the grand elders of the national organization. His daughter, Lauren Yee, is a playwright whose new play King of the Yees explores the world of her father, dying Chinatowns and how we honor the lineage of our families when that lineage is hundreds of years in the past and thousands of miles away.

In King of the Yees, Lauren takes us down a rabbit hole into the imagined streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown, introducing us to characters at the same time foreign and familiar, racing through time and space to find her now-missing father.

Lauren is also a character in her own play. In the midst of King of the Yees, while Lauren is still writing the play, she assembles a team of actors on stage to play herself, her father, disgraced state senator Leland Yee, stylish criminal Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow and the 1,000 year-old Revered Yee Chung-Sheung, among others.

Bitingly hilarious and heartbreakingly honest, King of the Yees presents a shockingly funny and confusing world similar and true to our own. King of the Yees leaps across cultural and national borders to examine just how much of ourselves comprises our own identities and how much is influenced by what our family wants us to be.

Lady in Denmark (Staged reading)BY DAEL ORLANDERSMITH DIRECTED BY CHAY YEWSaturday, November 14, at 10:30amOwen Theatre

In this one-woman show, Obie Award winner and Pulitzer Prize finalist Dael Orlandersmith takes us through the life of Helene, a Danish American woman who, in the wake of her husband’s death, finds

solace in the music of Billie Holiday. Known for her darkly poetic style and piercing insight into human psychology, Orlandersmith weaves a narrative that explores jazz, family and the end of life.

The Amateurs (Staged reading)BY JORDAN HARRISONDIRECTED BY OLIVER BUTLERSaturday, November 14, at 2pmOwen Theatre

Mr. Larking is God. Or at least he’s playing God in a 14th century production of the story of Noah’s flood. As his co-stars prepare to perform for the Duke, the crew is plagued by deadlines, a fear of the Black Death (which already claimed one of the leads) and a secret that could divide them all. The Amateurs is a comic tale of plagues, purpose and finding your voice in the moment.

Rödvinsvänster (Red-Wine Leftists): 1977 (Staged reading)BY REBECCA GILMAN DIRECTED BY WENDY C. GOLDBERGSunday, November 15, at 10:30amOwen Theatre

Kyle, an auto worker from Reynolds, Wisconsin, has been chosen by his union to travel to socialist Sweden to see how Volvo has reimagined the assembly line for its workers. The play is part of a trilogy from Goodman Theatre Artistic Collective member Rebecca Gilman that also includes Soups, Stews, and Casseroles: 1976, which will be produced in the Owen Theatre this spring.

Exploring Identity with Students and Youth Artists at the GoodmanBy Teresa Rende

“You made him see that gap. Between what he was assuming about you, and what you really are,” Emily says to her husband, Amir, in the first scene of Disgraced, the opening production of the Goodman’s 2015/2016 Season. The couple is recounting a recent experience in which a waiter made racist assumptions about Amir, and the speed with which those assumptions were upended once Amir spoke. This gap, between what others assume about us and who we really are, is a divide which Goodman Education and Community Engagement is particularly curious to explore.

Each summer we have the joy of welcoming 80 students from across Chicagoland into Goodman Theatre’s PlayBuild Youth Intensive, our six-week program for 14-to-18-year-olds. PlayBuild is designed to validate the voices of its participants and inspire them to examine their own potential for creativity through storytelling techniques. The program culminates in a public presentation of an original performance conceived and executed by the participants. In light of the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and the unrest facing our nation in recent years in the wake of deaths of men of color such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Freddie Grey, the young artists of PlayBuild 2015 spent the summer investigating image and identity. Their performance was built around the central metaphor of water, an element capable of providing life and taking it away. The stories shared during PlayBuild forced each of us to consider our true selves and the biases that may shape our perception of those we encounter every day.

We are excited to carry this crucial investigation of identity into the 2015/2016 Student Subscription Series (SSS), during which Goodman education staff will work with teachers to design lesson plans to enhance their theatergoing experience. This season, SSS students will attend performances of Disgraced, A Christmas Carol, Another Word for Beauty, Carlyle and The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window. Each of these works uniquely explores the self that we are now, expected to be and hope to become. They also ask us to examine how we manage our professional, religious and familial relationships when opinions don’t align. Are we beholden to something greater than ourselves? Who has the right to define beauty, and when and where we can experience it? What are the ethics of representation and who governs them? How is the self manipulated in social and mass media, and is our reputation a reflection of action or opinion?

In PlayBuild Youth Intensive’s culminating performance, The Water is Rising, the ensemble asked themselves and their audience, “Who am I? Who was I yesterday, who will I be tomorrow and how do I make the world better for those who come next?” While the 80 artists of The Water is Rising started this investigation with Goodman Education and Community Engagement this summer, we cannot wait to continue exploring identity throughout the 2015/2016 school year with the 2,800 Chicago public high school students who will join us for these productions.

Home-sweet-home turns into a haunted house for 13-year-old Chris when Carol—her stepmother from hell—moves in. Struggling with the recent death of her mother, Chris is convinced her father’s new live-in fiancée is evil, but she just can’t persuade Dad to her point-of-view.
