DESCRIPTION

From the author of last season’s local hit Stuff Happens comes an electrifying new play: Nadia Blye is a glamorous American war correspondent-turned-academic who now teaches Political Studies at Yale. Haunted by memories of the Middle-East, she takes
a brief holiday in Wales with her boyfriend to meet his father – a craggy, weathered English doctor battling personal demons from his own past. Sexual and political tensions immediately surface, sparking a dynamic, life-changing debate of ethics and power.

“It’s a lively dissection of how two cultures look at the world’s troubles.” — Peter Marks, The Washington Post
