The director is Vernice Miller with lighting design by Margo Caddell. The cast are Brian Jennings, Rebecka Jones, and Godfrey L. Simmons, Jr.
"Set in 1963 during apartheid-era Port Elizabeth, the play explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and endurance through the reunion of an anti-apartheid white Afrikaner couple and their Black activist friend who has recently been released from prison".
