      The play intricately explores the façade of a seemingly perfect family through a darkly comedic lens. Set during a winter afternoon, a prosperous couple, Kelly and Clay, recount a troubling Thanksgiving gathering that reveals deep-seated issues within their family, including failed marriages and infidelity. The arrival of a Muslim cab driver prompts a deeper examination of their self-delusions and the emptiness of their liberal ideals. With sharp satire, the narrative critiques the American upper-middle class, exposing the lies that mask their moral failings.

      The Pain and the Itch
    • Winner, Best Play, Evening Standard Awards 2010. An acerbically brilliant satire that explores the fault line between race and property in a Chicago neighborhood first in 1959 and revisited in 2009.
