Guess Who's Coming To Dinner

can love conquer all?

Don't miss Todd Kreidler's adaptation of William Rose's seminal 1967 movie, as presented by the Indiana Repertory Theatre this season. Concerning one eventful evening in the life of the liberal, upper-class Drayton family and their discomfort when their white daughter Joanna brings home her new fiance, John Prentice, a black doctor 14 years her senior. Faced with having to confront their ideals head on, this deft comedy-drama is a thought-provoking look at the nature of prejudice and the power of love.

Whilst having raised Joanna in line with their family values and believing in racial inequality, the Draytons find themselves at odds with her choice of partner, looking for advice and opinion from their friends and peers. The resulting circumstance has long been seen as a rare positive representation of interracial marriage from the period, a cultural touchstone and an exploration of returning to the family home as adult.
