Thought provoking, beautifully written and acted

See it if You have an open mind and want to see a sensitive and fair discussion of a current affairs situation. A thoughtful one man play.

Don't see it if You have strong political beliefs and are not open to views different than your own.

Specific & universal, Retrospectively wise, Relevant

See it if You enjoy plays which unravel the whys of political unrest through individual storytelling. The economic condition always drives politics.

Don't see it if You prefer plays with non-political economic themes. Read more

“We viscerally experience the challenges, pressures, and disappointments that makes this man vulnerable...No matter your political point of view, this is an important play to see. Mr. Damiano explores the gray/human areas of what is a black and white issue for most people. This play offers a perspective on the vulnerability of our time.”

“A very talented man is Mr. Damiano, and you believe every minute of it...’ONE WITH THE CURRENT’ should not be missed. You will want to take Daniel Damiano home and just keep the conversation going.”
