...childhood. It's become some weird form of therapy. It's like I have a place where I can release all of these emotions. When I was playing Ira Hayes, I didn't have to think about the death of my parents directly. It's just there. I can blend it into Ira's character. I can use Ira's emotions as an outlet. I can draw on this and say, "How does Ira feel about the death of his friends?" My body is not afraid to release that...
Beah escaped this fate and thrived, he says, through pure luck. But he's one of those very quick studies who could have succeeded anywhere. He learned to kill fast, and he learned how to blend in at an American high school fast. Even in Paris, he looks as relaxed as any tourist. Of course, what he did and endured has long contrails.

But such memories seemed too personal to be brought out in public, too complex, above all too risky?too distant from the machine-gun wisecracks that audiences expected of a Neil Simon play. He recalls: "I was afraid I'd kill the plays...
What struck me most about the four farmers who showed up at TIME's Beijing bureau back in 2001 was that they were wearing new shirts. With callused hands and dirt under their fingernails, these men were trying to blend in with the well-dressed crowds in China's capital. But one look and you could tell they were poor peasants in unfamiliar city clothes. Their shirts all had identical shirt-box creases. One peasant, an apple grower named Liang Yumin, tugged at his neck throughout our conversation, fingering the piece of cardboard still tucked under his collar...
