Ann Filmer directs the drama, which had its premiere at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 2010. Performances will play to Feb. 24.

Disconnect is billed this way: "Forty-something Avinash [Kamal J. Hans] is hopelessly out of step in a company that demands success, energy, and youth. To bring his game up, he is transferred to work with the bright young graduates in Illinois — down on the fourth floor. In the windowless, nighttime offices of a call center in Chennai, India, is a bustling world of energetic Indian workers dreaming the American Dream and faking U.S. accents to target their American 'marks' maxed out on credit cards. Disconnect is a powerful and witty drama about the consequences of consumer culture and the intricacies of our interconnected global economy."

Opening night is Feb. 4. Performances play the Victory Gardens Biograph Theater, 2433 N. Lincoln Ave., in Chicago's Lincoln Park. For more information, visit victorygardens.org.
