New York Premiere

 Lee Blessing makes his Primary Stages debut with a tension-packed play that pits individual responsibility against the power of teh state. The mother of a monstrous dictator in sub-Saharan Africa visits an English eye surgeon. Her health is an issue, but a much larger question looms. What can be done about her son? Here is an intensely suspenseful journey into the very nature of motherhood. Blessing's play haunts us at our deepest levels.
