Public Obscenities explores the pleasures and pitfalls of living in translation as it follows a queer studies PhD student returning to his family home in Kolkata with his Black American boyfriend. This “gorgeously precise” (The New Yorker) bilingual production enjoyed a successful run earlier this year at Soho Rep, where it was named a Critic’s Pick in a New York Times review describing playwright Shayok Misha Chowdhury as “a writer with great promise.” Theatre for a New Audience and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company present Soho Rep and the NAATCO National Partnership Project’s Public Obscenities, written and directed by Chowdhury.
Part of the 2024 Under the Radar Festival.
