A play that forces us to question our moral responsibility to the victims of human rights abuse.

In the business of war, the role of women is really to maintain normalcy and ensure that there is cultural continuity.

I need a release from whatever I'm writing.

A play that forces us to question our moral responsibility to the victims of human rights abuse.

I want the audience, when they leave, to think of the characters on the stage in three dimensions. I want them to have empathy. I also want them to think about engaging more with where we are culturally.
