A Distinct Society

A gripping and very human drama. Writer Fahmy clearly understands his subject material and presents it in a framework of universal desires for connection and humanity.

BroadwayWorld

...one of those rare plays that should be labeled: “important.” It says something from such an uncommon point-of-view, through a powerfully different lens, that needs to be experienced by audiences everywhere. We need this play.

Front Row Reviewers

Specifically chilling vignettes allow for the revelation of rich artistry. Fahmy’s prose haunts with its ephemeral insight.

San Francisco Chronicle

It's a tale of fundamentally decent people faced with an impossible situation and striving somehow to navigate it anyway as best they can, and that’s what makes it so compelling.

Mercury News

A monumental new work that is extremely timely and important in the up-close, sensitive, and yet stark manner it shows how declarations from on high can affect ordinary people, near and far.

Talkin' Broadway

Thought-provoking and disarmingly sincere, 'A Distinct Society' focuses on the human cost of enforcing borders, what happens when policy and bureaucracy forget the human element, and what happens when we’re asked to do the same.

Metro Silicon Valley

Superb on all counts. Rich in foreshadowing, thematic symbolism and relevance with dialogue hitting all of the right beats.
