BREAKDOWN
Set in a spacious apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, this play explores the inner passions and beliefs of five Americans from different cultures. The play explores how the beliefs we learn from infancy are buried inside our adult selves. Ultimately, we are who we are. We can run, but not hide from what we have been taught. We act on our values in spite of ourselves, and when confronted with opposing beliefs, we clash, and that is how wars begin. Intense and mesmerizing, this story doesn’t just unravel; it explodes on the stage. Winner of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize. Adult themes and language.
Amir: 40, of South Asian origin, perfect American accent
Emily: early 30s, white, lithe
Abe: 22, of South Asian origin, as American as American gets
Isaac: 40, white, smart
Jory: mid to late 30s, commanding, forthright
