UNITED STATES VS GUPTA

by Deepali Gupta
JACK in collaboration with New Georges
Produced by Lucy Jackson

United States v. Gupta is a musical tragedy that attempts to tell the story of Rajat Gupta. In the summer of 2012, Gupta—a former head of McKinsey—was tried, convicted, and incarcerated for insider trading. More than a decade removed from the events of his trial, his youngest daughter, Deepali Gupta, is presenting her own version—in collaboration with director Caitlin Sullivan. Working with materials that are transcribed, remembered, and imagined, Deepali writes a play that maps a history. And yes—she’s playing herself.

Press for UNITED STATES VS GUPTA

“It’s a dizzying hall of mirrors, and it’s a credit to director Caitlin Sullivan that all of it is as crisp and clear as it is…the performances are relentlessly unshowy, even in the silliest moments. For a play with this many layers, the whole thing retains an unadorned, stripped-down quality; it all moves with deliberateness and precision” - Loren Novick, Exeunt
