Sons of the Prophet, Paperback / softback Book

Sons of the Prophet Paperback / softback

Part of the NHB Modern Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

As a gay Lebanese-American Maronite Christian in rural Pennsylvania, Joseph Douaihy has a pretty complicated life.

But when his father dies as the result of a prank, things truly take a turn for the bizarre. Stephen Karam's play Sons of the Prophet confronts, with intelligence, empathy and tenderness, the inevitability of loss and the equally inevitable comedy which results from our attempts to cope with its consequences. It premiered in Boston in April 2011, transferred Off-Broadway later that year, won the Lucille Lortel, New York Drama Critics' Circle and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Play, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

It received its European premiere at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2022, directed by Bijan Sheibani.
