a Manbites Dog Theater production

The Overwhelming
by J.T. Rogers
Directed by Jay O'Berski

"We have a saying here: In Kigali, life expectancy is twelve hours, renewable."
Rwanda, 1994: an American academic, in country with his family, searches for a missing friend, but finds instead a land on the brink of chaos, where nothing is what it seems, no one can be trusted, and the price of survival is more than he could have imagined. The Overwhelming is a gripping political thriller and a devastating exploration of one of the great human tragedies of our time.
