PRIMARY TRUST

By Eboni Booth

The Circuit Playhouse – May 8 – 31, 2026

A winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this play by Eboni Booth dives into the mind of a
seemingly ordinary middle-aged man named Kenneth, who spent most of his evenings at a local
bar with his “friend” Bert. Kenneth loses his job at a local bookstore, forcing him to face a world
that he has long avoided. Now, he has to learn how to re-establish his life while dealing with
new revelations about himself and embark on an internal and external journey. Finding a
renewed sense of purpose and self-discovery along the way, he navigates the challenges of
disruption to his normal routine. This play tells a story of new friendships, new beginnings, and
finding the courage to overcome personal barriers.
