PlayCo, Woolly Mammoth Theatre, The Flea, and Kelly Strayhorn Theaterpresent the New York premiere of AMMIGONE—stylized as Amm(i)gone—created, co-directed and performed by Adil Mansoor and co-directed by Lyam B. Gabel, from March 13th to April 7th at The Flea (20 Thomas St, New York).

Adil Mansoor is a Virgo Pakistani-American theater queerdo. His mother is an Aquarian hijabi Quranic scholar. Since she discovered Adil’s queerness online, their once-close bond now needs rescue. In Amm(i)gone, a portmanteau of “ammi” (“mother” in Urdu) and the Greek heroine Antigone, Mansoor invites us on a journey of heartbreak and repair between mother and son as they embark on an examination and translation of Sophocles’ Antigone into Urdu. Passionately mining Greek tragedy, Islam, and their own memories, they seek to recover their love across faith.

Community Engagement Programming for Amm(i)gone:

Join us for a wide-ranging series of Idea Lab community offerings, before and after the show. Curated alongside our artists and community partners, these events bring us together in inclusive, safe spaces for reflection, learning, and celebration.

This year’s community nights are proudly sponsored by LUNAR, an AAPI-owned craft hard seltzer made with real Asian fruits, and SANZO, the first Asian-inspired sparkling water.

All pre and post-show events are free and included in your ticket to that performance of Amm(i)gone. Please RSVP to pre- and post-show events separately due to limited space.
