“THE OVERWHELMING strikes me as not only the best new play I've seen this year but also one of the most entertaining.” -The Daily Telegraph
Max Stafford-Clark (Serious Money) directs the American premiere of this exotic thriller from award-winning playwright J.T. Rogers (Madagascar, White People). It's 1994, and when an American family heads to Rwanda to help an old friend in need, each member encounters a very different experience. But they all find trouble in this country on the verge of genocide, where no one is exactly what they seem. Soon, this family unearths unexpected truths about this tiny, troubled nation and about themselves.
