Finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Sons of the Prophet by Stephen Karam (Speech & Debate), is a refreshingly honest take on how we cope with wounds that just won't heal.
If to live is to suffer, then Joseph Douaihy is more alive than most. With unexplained chronic pain and the fate of his reeling family on his shoulders, Joseph's health, sanity, and insurance premium are on the line. In an age when modern medicine has a cure for just about everything, Sons of the Prophet is the funniest play about human suffering you're likely to see.
Finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 2012 Lucille Lortel Award winner for Outstanding Play, winner of the 2011-2012 New York Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play.
Suggested for ages 16+.
