Location: The Peter Jay Sharp Theater (Level 4) 416 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036

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 include live closed captioning delivered in real time and can be accessed on a personal smartphone or tablet via a QR code available at the theater. For full accessibility details and ticket information, please contact accessibility@phnyc.org
