An intelligent, witty, honest and complex vision of what it looks like to have the tables unrelentingly turned. One of the sharpest takes on immigration and America's isolationist viewpoints I've read. A smart, well written and politically savage work that is ultimately very moving. This is an important play.

Brent Askari holds up a mirror to a very American, very privileged class. The painful truth of our delusions is presented with wonderful humor and tenderness.This is a beautiful cry for us to see ourselves in others and to recognize the human fragility that unites us all.

Timely/timeless exploration of seeking asylum, American Exceptionalism, and what the essential components of "culture" are for any given society. A sharp satire that situates a WASPish family from Connecticut in circumstances neither they nor many Americans could ever see themselves in, though it is all realized in a way that feels frighteningly close to home. There is some satisfying and subtle world building, complicated and fully realized characters, and a satisfying ending that avoids cliches and either "happily ever afters" or unnecessary tragedy. I'd be excited to see this on its feet!
