Ben has an unexpected houseguest: Marwan, last night's hookup, a Syrian refugee. Ben has a life to live, but Marwan needs a place to stay. And Ben's roommate Andrea, who's already on the verge of evicting him, has a no-hookup policy. The play asks: can generosity ever be pure?

A heart stopping and powerful play that asks pivotal questions about cross culture, immigration and the process of assimilation. Well done.

This play is a punch to the gut -- the climax is inevitable but still caught me by a surprise that made my heart sink. Gershman has given us complicated characters who propel the story along with their terrible, noble, well-intentioned, and ill-intentioned choices. There are moments of transcendent beauty and outright horror, balanced on a razor's edge. If you want to produce a play that will stir discussion, you should consider producing this play.
