FAIRVIEW is a searing examination of families, drama, family dramas, and the insidiousness of white supremacy.
Winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize. “…dazzling and ruthless…one of the most exquisitely and systematically arranged ambushes of an unsuspecting audience in years…FAIRVIEW is a series of perspective-altering surprises, and they keep coming at you even when you think [Drury] must surely have emptied [her] bag of tricks…a glorious, scary reminder of the unmatched power of live theater to rattle, roil and shake us wide awake.” —The New York Times.
