Rheology – Relaxed Performance

May 9 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

After a critically-acclaimed run last spring, Playwrights Horizons presents Rheology! Written and directed by Shayok Misha Chowdhury (2024 Obie winner and Pulitzer finalist), the piece features both Misha and an Obie Award-winning performance from his physicist mother, Bulbul Chakraborty.

Synopsis: In Rheology, Shayok Misha Chowdhury joins forces with his physicist mother, Bulbul Chakraborty. Bulbul is obsessed with the mystery of sand: how it flows like a liquid, but then jams into a solid. Misha is obsessed with his mother. But they’re running out of time. In this boundary-pushing collaboration, an artist son and his scientist mother challenge each other to a high-stakes experiment.

This Relaxed Performance is designed to welcome neurodivergent people and anyone who may benefit from a more inclusive theater environment. House lights will remain partially raised, and guests are welcome to move, make sound, or leave and return to their seats as needed. Playwrights Horizons invites you to experience the show in a way that feels comfortable.
