This 2024 Tony Award–winning play erupts with dark humor and ferocious family drama. When the estranged Lafayette family gathers to settle their late father’s crumbling Arkansas estate, grief quickly gives way to accusation, resentment, and long-buried secrets clawing their way to the surface. A shocking discovery in the attic throws their history into question, and the reunion spirals into a volatile mix of outrage, revelation, and razor-sharp comedy. Dark and fiercely dramatic, Appropriate is an explosive American family story from one of the most daring voices in contemporary theatre.
