It’s Halloween 2024, one week before the U.S. election. Anita Knight, a brilliant and ambitious Yale academic, has gathered her closest friends to help her prepare for the job interview of a lifetime. Her husband arrives, late to the party, setting off a chain of events no one sees coming.
In this biting social satire, two couples confront each other and themselves, and no one will ever be the same. As their carefully constructed stories unravel, dark forces threaten friendships, marriages, and perhaps even the fate of humanity itself.
Just imagine if Edward Albee and Jordan Peele had a baby—and that baby had a dinner party.
WIGHTS is written by playwright Liz Appel and directed by Crow’s Theatre Artistic Director Chris Abraham. Liz holds an MFA in Playwriting from Hunter College, an MPhil in Modern and Medieval Languages from Cambridge University; and an M.A. and MPhil in English from Yale.
