Theater Review: The Believable Gut-Punch of
And something is going on: Aside from arranging the four main characters in cross-privilege marriages, Akhtar sets the field in motion with a series of somewhat less credible provocations. Turns out, Emily is an Islamophile, not only basing her new paintings on Islamic mosaic patterns but arguing for the centrality of that tradition, alongside Greece’s and Rome’s, in the Western cultural heritage.

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the actress revealed that she and Julian were separated from Michael for some time during lockdown. "We were all together in the desert because we have a house there," she explained. "And then there was a lockdown so we just stayed put. But that house needed work. And then what happened was, it got to be hotter, as it does in the Palm Springs area, so it was too hot for me."
