Summary

A radical examination of the power of spectatorship and the pressure of destructive preconceptions, Jackie Sibblies Drury's 2019 Pulitzer prize-winner Fairview is a searing meta-theatrical interrogation of the white gaze, performance, and the subjectivity of the audience.

Fairview Reviews

'Dazzling and ruthless...a glorious, scary reminder of the unmatched power of live theatre to rattle, roil and shake us wide awake.' * The New York Times (Critic's Pick) *
'Outstanding, frustrating, hilarious' * The New Yorker *
