APPROPRIATE
by BRANDEN JACOBS-JENKINS
Directed by TATIANA PANDIANI
“This is one heck of a powerful play by a young playwright who is putting a distinctive stamp on modern drama.
”
Members of the fragmented Lafayette family reconnect to settle their father’s affairs, but soon discover that they must first tackle their unresolved issues with each other. The Obie Award-winning play incorporates shocking reveals coupled with absurdist undertones that expose what it means to be part of a family, culture, and nation built upon a troubled past. A vivid and original take on the household drama, Appropriate takes its place in the American canon as an incomparable masterpiece.
“We need plays like Appropriate that reject easy answers and force us to grapple with the difficult and disturbing legacies of our historical and cultural past.”
