- In this 2012 Pulitzer Prize winning drama, Quiara Alegrîa Hudes, writer of the book for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights, introduces us to Elliot, a veteran of the Iraq war. As he struggles to find his place in the world, we are also introduced to the members of an addiction chat room trying to get through their day. When Elliot’s mother dies, cyber meets reality, anger gives way to understanding, and the resistance to their pasts and each other becomes a chance at forgiveness. In this heartfelt meditation on lives on the brink of redemption, the boundaries of family and community are stretched across continents and cyberspace, as birth families splinter, and online families collide.
I had to read this play for Composition class, but I'm dyslexic so it takes a lot of time to read. This really helped me, it was a wonderful play!
Reading the play in class…loved listening to this while I read along!! 😊
I had to read the Drama in my Englisch Class (I'm from Germany) and seeing it was really helpful for me to understand all. Good Work 👍

Scene 7- 51:56
Literally the scene I was assigned!!! Tysm!
What’s the point of the phrase being translated? Like it never came up again. Am I just not smart enough to pick up on the subtleties 😂
Words spoken by the first person he killed in Iraq, the phrase in Arabic is repeated by a ghost who follows Erik at points during the play
beautiful and moving
Doesn’t look like anyone’s in the seat I can see why now
This has to be the worst thing I’ve ever read and even worse watching it
Not the most nuanced performances, for sure; but it's difficult to imagine the play being "the worst thing" you've ever read. It is brilliant in so many ways.
This play is like a kidney stone that you have to get surgery for yet since you cant afford it all you can do is keep trying to pass this unbelivable pain out your urethera.
lmao i agree, pray for me now i gotta write a paper. brains bleeding. but you made me laugh, so thank you :)
It’s not the worst written thing I have ever read, but it was one of the hardest to get through because god damn are these characters unlikeable. It’s not often I can get to the end of a play, movie, book etc. and legitimately hate every single character, but this play is one of them. It’s hard to care about anyone in this play when these supposed friends are all so annoying and spiteful towards each other.
Not that bad of a play
I would rather get my wisdom teeth pulled again than watch this dumpster fire again.
