| And this was the calm before the Storm! (Liz Lauren) |
It took some time, but the sparks really flew towards the end of Seattle Rep, Berkeley Repertory Theatre and Goodman Theatre co production of “Disgraced” by Ayad Akhtar, in which I attended this past weekend.
The production starts with the playful couple of a Pakistani-American born lawyer, Amir (the FAB, Bernard White) and his Blond and Beautiful, Painter Wife, Emily (the gutsy, Nisi Sturgis).
But in the 90-minute one-act (Yes, another one), directed by Kimberly Senior with an incredible New York Apartment set by John Lee Beatty, Amir's character goes through several changes as he goes from charming to frustrated as he doesn't get the promotion he was longing for.
