The 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama winner FAIRVIEW follows the Fraiser family as they prepare for their Grandmother's perfect birthday. But as the perfect party becomes increasingly difficult to pull off, is anything as it seems? This dazzling play, part comedy, part searing satire, is full of surprises. The Pulitzer Committee called FAIRVIEW "a hard-hitting drama that examines race in a highly conceptual, layered structure, ultimately bringing audiences into the actors' community to face deep-seated prejudices."
FAIRVIEW was originally commissioned and presented by
Soho Rep, New York, NY
(Sarah Benson, Artistic Director; Cynthia Flowers, Executive Director)
and
Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Berkeley, CA
(Tony Taccone, Artistic Director; Susan Medak, Managing Director)
