Profoundly affecting and surprisingly funny, this 2024 Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a tender exploration of new beginnings, old friends, and the courage it takes to transform your life.
Kenneth lives a carefully ordered life in a small town near Rochester, NY. For 15 years, everything’s been great: a bookstore job he loves, his best friend Bert, daily mai tai’s at Wally’s tiki bar, and a comforting routine. When he suddenly finds himself unemployed, Kenneth is forced to step beyond the safety of habit and consider the alternative: connection and change.
Ever hopeful, Primary Trust reflects on how we protect ourselves, and what it means to be truly seen.
“Pretty darn near to a perfect play”
“Tender, delicately detailed portrait...”
“Graceful, aching, gently funny...”
