A Distinct Society
Written by Kareem Fahmy
Virginia Premiere!

Nothing much ever happens in a sleepy library that straddles the border of the U.S. and Canada. But when an Iranian father and daughter, separated by the "Muslim ban”, begin using the library as a meeting place, the French-Canadian librarian, an American border patrol agent and a local teenager find their quiet lives suddenly full of excitement and consequence. Inspired by true events, A Distinct Society is a touching and funny play about the many things—family, food, art, love, and politics—that can either divide or unite us.
