Raja Feather Kelly Interviewed for VOGUE
Raja Feather Kelly Takes the Leap
“If, as Kelly says, love is a kind of magic trick, then so too is The Fires, collapsing time and compressing space as a new form—play, movement piece, meditation—is ignited before us and we all feel the heat.
In a conversation that ranged from Jacques Lacan to James Baldwin to Carly Rae Jepsen, we spoke with Kelly about literature as tarot, pop culture as empathy, and the exquisite need to leap into the unknown.”
Shayok Misha Chowhury's Public Obscenities named Pulitzer Prize Finalist
We are thrilled to share the news that Shayok Misha Chowdhury’s Public Obscenities has been named one of three Finalists for the 2024 Pulitzer Prize in Drama. Please join us in congratulating Misha, our partners at NAATCO, and the entire team of designers, actors, and crew who brought the play to life in its world premiere at Soho Rep, as well as the transfers to Woolly Mammoth and Theatre for a New Audience! It’s so exciting that Misha is being recognized in this way, and we hope it will expose even more people to this incredible bilingual play, which the Pulitzer Prize committee described as “a densely written, deeply-felt drama that examines identity, home, queerness, and language through the lens of a Bengali American reuniting with his family in India.”
Public Obscenities, and all of our work, couldn’t happen without the support of our community. More than 90% of our income at Soho Rep comes from donations. Your gifts help us produce the work you see on stage, provide living wages to artists, and keep our ticket prices at $35 or less.
Time Out NY Best Theater in NYC
“Soho Rep isn’t the last word in downtown experimental theater: Better than that, it’s often one of the first words, championing major voices at key points in their careers. Its astounding list of alums includes Richard Maxwell, Young Jean Lee, Adam Bock, Annie Baker, Nature Theater of Oklahoma, David Adjmi, Lucas Hnath, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Anne Washburn, Aleshea Harris and Jackie Sibblies Drury (whose Fairview, which premiered there, won the Pulitzer Prize). And Soho Rep’s low ticket prices, including 99¢ Sundays, help keep some of the city’s bravest, boldest and wildest theater within the reach of all New Yorkers. ”
