Akhtar's Disgraced is currently running on Broadway.

Here's how the play is billed, "The Invisible Hand follows an American investment banker, kidnapped and held for ransom in Pakistan, as he trades for his life. This suspenseful new play is a chilling and complex look at how far we will go to save ourselves and the devastating ramifications of our individual actions on global power and politics."
The production will feature scenic design by Tony Award nominee Riccardo Hernandez (The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess), costume design by Tony Award nominee ESosa (The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess), lighting design by Obie Award winner Tyler Micoleau (The Fortress of Solitude) and sound design by Lortel Award winner Leah Gelpe.
