Synopsis

Nina Raine's clever and subtle new play. Billy's family, like every other, is a club, with its own private language, jokes and rules. You can be as rude as you like, as possessive as you like, as critical as you like. Arguments are an expression of love, and after all, you love each other more than anyone in the world. Don't you? But Billy, who is deaf, is the only one who actually listens. When he meets Sylvia, he decides he finally wants to be heard.

Media Reviews
There's so much going on in Tribes that it's almost overwhelming: intellect and sentiment, love and cruelty, witty zingers and biting put-downs. But in Nina Raine's dazzling play, too much is a good thing... Tribes is pitch-perfect. -- New York Post
In this provocative and original play, Raine keeps the ideas and the ironies coming until the final thrilling, paradoxical image. Raine's gift is for penetration; she makes her story mean more than the social problem it dramatizes. -- New Yorker
