Kimberley
We really enjoyed this play, the actors were very good and as usual left us in deep conversation about the actual events that occured in Ruwana. If you don't know the background about the issues in Ruwanda, probably a good idea to read up on it before the play just so you don't feel too lost. 4 of us went, 3 knew the background, the 4th person caught on and actually plans to go watch Hotel Ruwanda since everyone else talked so much about it. Another thought provoking play.Written on Nov 09 2009

The play was thought-provoking during AND afterward. The subject matter is very timely and was well explained and explored. The acting, especially of those actors who played more than one role, was really top-notch. Lastly, the 'severe' constraints of the theater were apparently no problem for the staging of the play.Written on Nov 23 2009
All in all, a really satisfying night of theater. I'm going to 'keep my eyes peeled' for CompanyOne !

Description
Company One presents the Boston premiere of The Overwhelming, an exotic thriller from award-winning playwright J.T. Rogers (Madagascar, White People).

As Jack, his wife and his teenage son encounter foreign culture and eye opening politics, they each find their own brand of trouble. Realizing that in this place no one is exactly what they seem, his family begins to unearth unexpected truths about this tiny, troubled nation...and about themselves. Directed by Shawn LaCount.
