On the eve of his sons birth, the walls begin to close in, threatening him, her and everyone they love in a heart-racing expos with devastating echoes to the present day.Breathtaking and unpredictable through the final curtain, this unflinching exploration exposes the human toll of American withdrawal.[Sylvia] Khourys delicately crafted play . . . etches the cost of tyranny, corruption and terror in intensely human terms.
