NYTimes.com: Many a dinner party goes terribly awry, especially on Broadway, but few erupt as explosively as the gathering of four ambitious New Yorkers catching up over fennel anchovy salad and pork tenderloin in the production of “Disgraced” that just arrived at the Lyceum Theater. The two couples have the usual reasons for arguing — both personal and professional — but it is the freighted faith of the protagonist, a Muslim-American lawyer who is sharply critical of Islam, that elicits the rawest responses, as the characters confront behaviors and biases they thought they had risen above.

I'm really interested in seeing this topic further explored. I don't know much about Islam, although I am aware of the discrimination that those who practice it face. I am not aware, however, of many plays written on this subject--american muslims. There are many misconceptions about this group of people, and I think there is a wave of plays coming that depict the discrimination they face.
