DISGRACED
Last year, more than 10,000 theatre goers saw the Mirvish production of Ayad Akhtars Pulitzer Prize-winning play about race, religion and sex in our complex post-9/11 world. Now its returning to the Panasonic with the same cast headed by real-life couple Raoul Bhaneja and Birgitte Solem with one exception. Alex Poch-Goldin takes over from Michael Rubenfeld as a Jewish curator. Dont miss it and leave time afterwards to talk abut the big issues it raises.
