Disgraced (play)

"Disgraced" is a contemporary play by Ayad Akhtar that explores themes of identity, religion, and politics through the lens of a Pakistani-American lawyer named Amir Kapoor. The story unfolds during a dinner party, where conversations reveal deep-seated prejudices and tensions regarding race and culture. As the evening progresses, Amir's past and his struggles with his heritage come to the forefront, leading to a dramatic climax that challenges notions of belonging and the consequences of societal expectations. The play raises important questions about faith, assimilation, and the complexities of modern identity in a multicultural society.
