Early Buzz: The Who and the What
The Who and the What is a Lincoln Center Theater production by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Ayad Akhtar. It will have its New York debut in June, following its world premiere last spring at La Jolla Playhouse in California.
The Who and the What explores the rift between traditional values and contemporary life through the story of Zarina, an outspoken writer who clashes with her father and sister over her book about women and Islam: a work so modern and bold, that it threatens to tear her family apart.
