    For years, Kenneth has found solace in the mundane routine of his daily life—days spent working at a local bookshop, evenings spent nursing a single mai tai at his favorite bar.

    But when the shop closes and he suddenly finds himself without a job, his carefully ordered world is upended. With nothing left to anchor him, Kenneth must step beyond the quiet life he’s built and confront the fears, dreams, and unspoken grief that have kept him at a standstill.

    With warmth and delicate humor, Eboni Booth (Paris at the Atlantic Theater Company) crafts an affirming and tender portrait of a man standing at the brink of profound change.

    Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Primary Trust is a poignant meditation on connection and the courage it takes to transform your life.
