Product Description
Product Description
Seizing the opportunity to research a book, Jack Exley uproots his family from Illinois to Rwanda in early 1994. Alarmingly out of depth, Jack begins a fervent search for his dear and missing friend while his wife and teenage son find trouble of their own. As Jack involves himself in the local politics, he discovers a pattern of brutality and beliefs that jeopardizes the lives of everyone around him. This is a gripping story of a country on the brink of genocide.

a worthy new playwright
30 May 2008
Format:Paperback
As a playwright, I make it a point to look for and read new works that seem to be moving in a bolder and newer direction for the world of theatre.
This play was one I picked up on a whim, and one that I found to be everything I could have hoped for in a new work from a writer I had never heard of before.
The play is thought provoking, daring, insightful and refreshing all at once. As I read, I envisioned how to produce it on stage, seeing clearly the many possibilities for this piece.
If you are interested in works that stretch the boundaries that limit modern theatre, check out this play. You won't be disappointed.
