Relevant, Intelligent, Great acting, Absorbing, Relatable

See it if You are interested in interactions between Americans and Africans in Africa. Doing good is not as simple as one might wish.

Don't see it if You want an elaborate set. This is a minimally staged production with two actors, but it is beautifully done.

Great acting, Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Absorbing, Entertaining

See it if you want a smart take on relationship differences, both by countries and people, acted very well on a nearly bare stage with good lighting.

Don't see it if you need a full staging to appreciate a good story or you want a happy ending.

Relevant, Intelligent, Great writing, Intense

See it if You would enjoy a thoughtful two person plays about the challenges of development in Africa and of bicultural relationship generally.

Don't see it if You want a clear take home message and a balance between the two characters (Kennedy is a better character than Sarah). Read more
