Primary Trust by Eboni Booth

2024 Pulitzer Prize Winning Drama

Sometimes the quietest voices tell the most powerful stories.

“it will restore your faith in theatre’s elemental storytelling powers.”– The Observer

Kenneth’s life has always been simple—he works at a bookstore, sips mai tais with his best friend, and keeps to himself. But when he’s suddenly laid off, his quiet world is turned upside down. Stripped of his routine, Kenneth is forced to face a life he’s long ignored—one filled with new opportunities, unexpected friendships, and untapped potential. Primary Trust is a deeply moving story about the courage to embrace change, the beauty of fresh beginnings, and the profound impact of opening yourself to the world around you. Recommended for ages 16+.
