An Indian couple leaves Manhattan for what they call a "one-year experiment" in upstate New York. But in a place that prides itself on kindness, they discover how civility can hide discomfort. As Aakash begins to echo the voices he once opposed, the distance between safety and violence collapses. Good Neighbors is about the fault lines of belonging in a country that’s always choosing sides.
Welcome to LAByrinth’s 26th annual Barn Series! The renowned free reading series is a festival of new plays, and a critical and exciting step in LAB’s development of new work. Many of LAByrinth’s world premieres have come from the Barn, giving audiences a sneak peek into the artistic process, and a chance to see plays before they’re the next hot ticket.
This reading series will be performed in-person.
