The Haskell Free Library in Derby Line straddles the border of Vermont and Quebec and life is about to change amidst the tranquil hush of its cozy bookshelves. When an Iranian father and his daughter, separated by the international border, start using the library as a meeting place, the denizens of this quiet sanctuary find their lives suddenly full of excitement and consequence. Inspired by real events, A DISTINCT SOCIETY is a touching and funny new play about the many things–family, food, art, love, and politics–that can divide and unite us.
