Sakina's Restaurant is a vibrant, funny, and heartwarming one-man show that centers on an Indian immigrant who comes to New York to work at a restaurant and live the American dream. Mandvi returns to the stage in his critically acclaimed performance twenty years after the play's Obie-winning debut.
Originally directed and developed by Kimberly Hughes and under the tutelage of legendary acting teacher Wynn Handman, this production is directed by Kimberly Senior. The creative team includes Wilson Chin (scenic design), Jen Caprio (costume design), Mary Louise Geiger (lighting design), and Jill BC Du Boff (sound design).
"Twenty years after introducing 'Sakina's Restaurant,' Aasif Mandvi's heartwarming and poignant one-man show remains remarkably topical," commented Kate Navin, Audible Artistic Producer. "We are delighted to have this important show join our growing theater slate as we continue to focus on creating extraordinary theatrical experiences for live audiences at the Minetta Lane Theatre and for listeners all over the world."
Mandvi's performance will also be recorded as an Audible Original production, available to millions of listeners across the globe. Award-winning Audible performances of captivating stage productions starring Billy Crudup, Judith Light, John Lithgow, Carey Mulligan, and others are available for preorder and download at www.audible.com/theater.
