Finalist for 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
Winner of 2012 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best
Play
Winner of 2012 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play
A deeply humorous, unflinching portrait of grief and loss, Sons of
the Prophet depicts a Lebanese-American family in rural
Pennsylvania beset by an absurd string of tragedies. At the play's
center is Joseph Douaihy, a once-promising world-class runner now
sidelined by injury. As Joseph confronts his deteriorating health,
he is also forced to face the death of his father, an ailing Uncle,
and a desperate boss beset by her own tragedies. Deftly keeping its
various storylines in careful balance, Karam's play confronts, with
abundant intelligence and great sympathy for human frailty, the
inevitability of loss and the equally inevitable comedy resulting
from our attempts to cope with is consequences.
