Event Details As a part of REPRESENT! A Multicultural Playwrights Festival Pratidhwani and SIS Productions Present A Staged Reading of SAMSARA By Lauren Yee Directed by Agastya Kohli When American couple Katie and Craig vow to make a last-ditch effort to create a baby of their own, their quest leads them to India, where a thriving commercial surrogacy industry offers them one final chance at parenthood. But will their decision to "rent out" a surrogate unite or divide them? A hilarious, unsettling look at reproduction in the 21st century, SAMSARA questions whether we can truly achieve intimacy in the face of shrinking worlds and expanding boundaries. Featuring Zaki Abdelhamid, Rob Burgess, Aditi Chaubal, Ankur Gupta, Kate Kraay, and Gurvinder Pal Singh Friday July 22nd, 7:30PM and Saturday July 23rd, 5:00PM.
