The Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, is coming to the Goodman Theatre stage with the world premiere of its English stage adaptation.

As Oscar sets out from New Jersey to Santo Domingo to prove his undeniable hope, can he shake the dark “fukú” that has haunted his family for generations?
