Disclaimer: This LIVE in-Zoom event contains propaganda, vague promises of Persian food, minimally invasive audience participation, and (gasp) MURDER.
Chef Nargis invites you to her virtual cooking class, and if you both do your jobs just right, you'll have more to look forward to than an aromatic dinner. Help prevent a perpetually impending war from the safety of your home! Disclaimer examines identity and fear, the stakes of cultural (mis)representation, the quest for togetherness, and the seductiveness of a classic whodunnit.
If there were any moments in this production of Disclaimer where you thought, "hey, how'd they do that??" check out this video. Disclaimer's designers presented a free technical skill-share and discussion on adaptation across mediums hosted on HowlRound! The video is archived there permanently, and a video recording of Disclaimer is available upon request.
Nominated for a 2021 Drama League award for Outstanding Digital Theater Production.
