Description
Fairview by Jackie Sibblies Drury is the winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
"Dazzling and ruthless... One of the most exquisitely and systematically arranged ambushes of an unsuspecting audience in years... A glorious, scary reminder of the unmatched power of live theatre to rattle, roil and shake us wide awake." -Ben Brantley, New York Times
Grandma's birthday approaches. Beverly is organising the perfect dinner, but everything seems doomed from the start: the silverware is all wrong, the carrots need chopping and the radio is on the fritz. What at first appears to be a family comedy takes a sharp, sly turn into a startling examination of deep-seated paradigms about race in America.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Fairview is an outstanding and hilarious play that uses theatrical style to challenge audiences, disturbing and entertaining in equal measure. Critics describe it as a rare and intimidating experience that leaves viewers shaken, with intense and innovative drama that forces self-reflection on societal space and prejudice. It is considered a vital and hard-hitting examination of race, praised for its intelligence and layered structure.
