Bitter Wheat, also directed by Mamet,features set and costume design by Christopher Oram and lighting design by Neil Austin. The staging is produced by Jeffrey Richards, Steve Traxler and Smith & Brant Theatricals.
The play comes on the heels of a broader cultural conversation about Dahl's work and the prejudice that was embedded in many of his most beloved stories.
