The Who & The What
by Ayad Akhtar
Presented by Huntington Theatre Company | March 31 — May 7, 2017 at the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA.
Brilliant novelist Zarina is writing about women and Islam when she meets Eli, a young convert who bridges the gap between her modern life and traditional heritage. When her conservative father discovers her controversial manuscript, they all must confront the beliefs that define them. A fierce and funny new play about relationships, religion, and the contradictions that make us who we are, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the blockbuster hit Disgraced.
