Who do we let in?

In THE REFUGEES, a jaded queen and her woke children struggle to answer that question, each side fiercely opposed over whether their prosperous realm should offer asylum to masses of immigrants displaced by climate change.

Terrific for colleges/universities seeking plays with diverse and plentiful casting opportunities!
