PlayCo, Woolly Mammoth Theatre, The Flea, and Kelly Strayhorn Theater presents
Amm(i)gone
Adil Mansoor is a queer Virgo Pakistani-American theater queen. His single mother is an Aquarian Hijabi Quranic scholar. Since she discovered Adil’s sexuality online, their once-close bond now needs its own fierce rescue mission. In Amm(i)gone, a portmanteau of “ammi” (“mother” in Urdu) and the Greek heroine Antigone, Mansoor invites us on a journey of heartbreak and repair between mother and son as they embark on an examination and translation of Sophocles’ Antigone into Urdu. Passionately mining Greek tragedy, Islam, and their own memories, they seek to recover their love across faith.
PRE-SHOW: TheatreMakers Night
Join us for a pre-show Happy Hour for TheatreMakers. We embrace the most expansive and inclusive definition of a theatremaker. If you’ve contributed in any way to the creation and realization of a theatrical work—whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in any aspect of its development—you are a theatremaker. So come along and bring a friend! After the happy hour, join us upstairs for the 7pm performance. Space is limited.
