←Recommendations of KINDNESS

When John's three characters initially meet it stems from a moment of hatred and violence but we are soon shown how people should treat others when they are new arrivals in a country. The compassion and almost poetic language these three characters use as they talk about their experiences of being people from different nations and of different believes can't fail to make you feel something and I think will educate an audience. Its as relevant as it is poetic and provides emotional thought from the very beginning.

A moving look at the kindness that needs to continue to be given to those who now are looking for home.

A short, but touching play about immigrants coming to America. Three men find connection with each other, though each comes to America from a different place and time. Relevant as a capsule of today's world. A great selection for a short play festival.

This is a lovely play about one generation of war-refugee immigrants welcoming the next. It is a great reminder of how sometimes the newly-arrived are more attuned to our country's essence than the folks who have been here longer. Highly recommended.

This was a sad, but touching and emotionally resonant. This play carries the weight of history, with three characters coming across generations to represent the experience of refugees. One aspect of the play that particularly struck me was the discussion of family, and the motions associated with the gift and receipt of the amulet. All in all, incredibly timely and drawing threads between different groups to represent the complexities of the American experience.
