Central among the accidental meetings in this play is the tenderly tentative connection that develops between Haruki and Grace — an improbable love story that is really the heart of the play.

The cast is excellent. Beckman shows her character’s fear, and lamentation, but also a compelling resiliency. Yeh is believable as a man confronting calamity when his culture and profession demand order. Regina shows Kat’s trauma, but also the person she could have been and might, with Grace’s help, still be. Ashur brings humanity to Tommy Z, as well as several other ancillary characters he briefly portrays.
