About this Event

Fresh from their recent Pulitzer wins for Drama, playwrights Eboni Booth (2024 for Primary Trust) and Sanaz Toossi (2023 for English) join three-time Pulitzer finalist David Henry Hwang in conversation (2020 for Soft Power, 2008 for Yellow Face, and 1989 for M. Butterfly). In this in-depth conversation, the playwrights reflect on craft, the creative process, and playwriting in fraught times. Anticipating the Broadway premiere of Sanaz Toossi's English on January 23 at Roundabout Theater, this conversation is part of a new public program celebrating Pulitzer honorees and their work with audiences around the country. 

This is a Pulitzer on the Road event in collaboration with the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
