Included in the lineup is the world premiere of Amerikin by Proof of Love playwright Chisa Hutchinson; Octavio Solis' Quixote Nuevo; and Lawrence Wright's political drama Camp David—about the history-making peace accord between Egypt and Israel—directed by The Public Theater's artistic director Oskar Eustis.
