This year’s winner of the Pulitzer Prize in drama, Fairview, has audiences squirming in their seats. What opens as a tepid family dinner party in an African-American household, quickly unravels, forcing audience members to confront their own racial views and prejudices. The subject is surveillance and how it impacts people of color with a vengeance. Works like Really and We Are Proud To Present earned playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury a reputation as one to watch, and this caustic new work is sophisticated, barbed, and leaves a lasting mark. Transferring from New York to the London stage, it’s directed by the Young Vic’s Genesis Fellow and associate director, Nadia Latif. —B.A.
