About the Event: 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 performance will feature American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation for Deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons. Interpreters will be placed in a clearly visible location, and reserved seating ensures optimal sightlines for audience members. To request reserved seating, please email accessibility@phnyc.org.
