Provocative and compelling, this arresting work deals with a subject much in the minds of contemporary society—the taking of innocent hostages by political terrorists. The play illuminates both the numbing agony of the one detained and also the helpless fury of those who are left behind—loved ones impatient for something to be done, and officials who feel they must be guided by logic rather than emotion.

Negotiating with Hezbollah during the Lebanese Hostage Crisis of 1982-1992 was a tense waiting game with no rules. The families of the hostages were at the mercy of a government that was feeling it’s way through the dark in a new and deadly game of trial and devastating error. This play isn’t about good guys and bad guys. I want my audience to look deeper than that. I want them to drive home talking about who we entrust our lives to and how much that life weighs to our governments.
