TWO ROOMS illuminates both the numbing agony of one man taken hostage by political terrorists and the helpless fury of those who are left behind. It serves to remind us of our past, make us aware of our present and gives us pause to consider what the future may
hold. It is, at its heart, a love story set against the sense of futility and despair that comes when people of goodwill realize that logic, compassion and fairness have become meaningless when dealing with those who would commit such barbarous acts so willingly.

When the play was written in 1988, Americans abroad were being increasingly targeted by Arab extremists, but few at home fully understood the depth of hatred behind terrorism. Five years after September 11, we are more personally acquainted with the face of the enemy. TWO ROOMS has become a timely and thought-provoking glimpse at the cause and effect of that hatred.

"…the playwright's eye is penetrating…[ Mr. Blessing] reaffirms his authority with timely political questions" —NY Times

"…although Blessing wrote "Two Rooms" in the late 1980s, the current war in Iraq-- and particularly its hostage-takings -- gives the drama a live-wire shock of topicality… it reminds you that theater, when it's good, can make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck"
—Washington Post
