Loved the first half, very dramatic, gut wrenching and well acted. The second half ruined it. The simplistic moralizing and Ghost of Christmas Present like preaching gave it a cheesy nonsense ending. It actually insulted the breadth of the subject. Leave the guilty finger pointing out of it. Give your audience credit. We get it!!! This is a prime example of less is more.
The strength of this show lies in the incredibly powerful performances of the three primary actors.

The actors were incredibly strong, however the final act was insulting and preachy. The attempt at political humor was useless, and damaged a stellar piece of work. Some of the characters appeared to have no purpose (the homeless man, the state dept.spokesperson) Leave well enough alone--if you want to make a political statement about Darfor, write another strong play, but don't minimize it by adding it as a p.s. to the Rwanda drama.
