Photo Flash: Roundabout's 'The Overwhelming' Opens 10/23

By:

Roundabout Theatre Company presents the American premiere of The Overwhelming, written by J.T. Rogers, directed by Max Stafford-Clark, featuring Chris Chalk, Ron Cephas Jones, Tisola Logan, Boris McGiver, Owiso Odera, Charles Parnell, Linda Powell, James Rebhorn, Sam Robards, Michael Stahl-David and Sharon Washington.

The Overwhelming opens officially on Tuesday, October 23 Off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street).  This is a limited engagement through December 23.

"The Overwhelming is the gripping story of an American family, newly arrived in Kigali, Rwanda, in early 1994, who come face-to-face with the realization that nothing and no one around them is what they understood it to be. Finding themselves embroiled in events beyond their understanding, three Americans struggle to discover who they can trust and what they will do when faced with matters of life and death," describe press notes.
