""Dazzling and ruthless...

One of the most exquisitely and systematically arranged ambushes of an unsuspecting audience in years...

A glorious, scary reminder of the unmatched power of live theater to rattle, roil and shake us wide awake."" -Ben Brantley, New York Times

Grandma's birthday approaches. Beverly is organizing the perfect dinner, but everything seems doomed from the start: the silverware is all wrong, the carrots need chopping and the radio is on the fritz. What at first appears to be a family comedy takes a sharp, sly turn into a startling examination of deep-seated paradigms about race in America.

Reviews for Fairview

Jackie Sibblies Drury's outstanding, frustrating, hilarious, and sui generis new play... Symbolically breaking through the one-way mirror, [Drury] challenged us with fairly direct shit. --New Yorker A hard-hitting drama that examines race in a highly conceptual, layered structure, ultimately bringing audiences into the actors' community to face deep-seated prejudices. --Pulitzer Prize committee Rare and intimidating, unresolved and raw...It left me with the blood pounding in my ears. --New York Magazine A hugely intelligent play... In larger society, such exercises in imagination seem near-impossible -- but maybe, Sibblies Drury suggests, rehearsing them onstage offers us a dose of the courage we need out in the real world. --Village Voice
