No Script: The Podcast | S1 Episode 32: "Disgraced" by Ayad Akhtar

In their final episode of Season 1, Jackson and Jacob take on a recent Pulitzer Prize winning script - Ayad Akhtar's "Disgraced." The play follows Amir, a young lawyer looking to make partner at his firm. His wife Emily is breaking into the art world with a new collection based on Islamic forms. But Amir feels some hostility towards the Islamic heritage of his family. When an art collector friend of Emily's arrives for dinner, things really start to heat up.   After this episode, we will be taking a short break from "No Script." We will return on January 7th with our first episode of Season 2!  ------------------------------ We had so much fun talking about this play, and we’d love to keep the conversation going!
