In a middle-class Bay Area home, Naina and Tarun look like the model Indian-American couple — good kids, a hard-won startup, Diwali around the corner. But a surprise visitor and a single act of desperation crack open the life they’ve built, exposing the bargains behind love, marriage and honor.

This contemporary Indian-American adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 play of the same name, is funny, sharp and quietly explosive — a play about money and power, devotion and control, and what it costs to become your own person.
