    Set in late October 2024, during the run-up to the U.S. federal election, the story introduces English professor Anita Knight on the eve of a pivotal job interview for the leadership of Yale’s Centre for Reparative Thought and Justice. As her friends and husband help her prepare, an unknown future looms just beyond the window, pressing to get in.

    At once enigmatic and hard-hitting, WIGHTS delves into the intricate power of language and its profound influence on our relationships, society, and the very fabric of reality.

    WIGHTS is written by playwright Liz Appel and directed by Crow’s Theatre Artistic Director Chris Abraham. The cast features Ari Cohen (Infinite Life, Coal Mine Theatre), Sochi Fried (The Game of Love and Chance, Shaw Festival), Richard Lee (The Orphan of Zhao, Shaw Festival), and Rachel Leslie (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Broadway).

    “What happens when the words we use to talk about reality, justice, and identity become the battleground threatening to tear us apart?”  WIGHTS is an explosive and thought-provoking new drama that explores a marriage—and a country—at a crossroads.
