This play is exactly what modern theatre needs: a powerful story revolving around a strong, female, Syrian refugee lead. Kari Bentley-Quinn has a knack for painting a future that both evolves key facets of the present while building a bold new world. In THE DIVER, the audience dives for the past in the same way Amena does, and what we surface with is just as cathartic. This is an essential story for the modern stage, as, maybe, if we all pay attention, we can be better than our projected future.
