The play is clumsy, but it's still impressive to see it carry one red pin over to the other...

...acting is accomplished and although the dialogue clearly attempts to cover its political bases, it is not too heavy handed. The writing tempers the severity of the subject matter with an apt sense of humor. Just hours before his scheduled attack, Khaled anxiously asks his leader what will happen after the mission. “Two angels will pick you up,” he is told. He responds uncertainly, “Are you sure...
