This play turned novel is a wonderful example of how a cast of narrators can work together. They move masterfully between the male and female characters, highlighting the dialogue that was essential to the story's success in theatrical form. This skill is important because much of the story is still told through conversations. The dynamic blend of male and female voices, balanced by a neutral male narrator, is easy to follow and evocative of the real-life arguments that occupy much of the story line. The intensity of the delivery matches the content, which runs the gamut of serious topics from racism to interpersonal conflict. M.R. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine

"Add a liberal flow of alcohol and a couple of major secrets suddenly revealed, and you've got yourself one dangerous dinner party" (Associated Press).
"1115919648"
From the Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama and author of Homeland Elegies, a "sparkling and combustible" play about identity in America after September 11 (Bloomberg).
"In dialogue that bristles with wit and intelligence, Akhtar puts contemporary attitudes toward religion under a microscope, revealing how tenuous self-image can be for people born into one way of being who have embraced another.... Everyone has been told that politics and religion are two subjects that should be off-limits at social gatherings. But watching these characters rip into these forbidden topics, there's no arguing that they make for ear-tickling good theater" (New York Times)."Add a liberal flow of alcohol and a couple of major secrets suddenly revealed, and you've got yourself one dangerous dinner party" (Associated Press).
