Thalia's Umbrella Presents EUROPE By David Greig, March 10-27 At 12th Avenue Arts
The best play about the United States in 2021 was written in Scotland in 1994. In a time when words and ideas are divisive, and when someone from another country—or the other side of town—can seem both exotic and threatening, come join the feast that is David Greig's powerful play about two outsiders who change a small town. Two refugees arrive at a train station in a small border town where the trains no longer stop. They are not looking for love; they are not looking for trouble. They find both.

US Premiere Of EUROPE By David Greig Comes to Thalia's Umbrella
The best play about BREXIT was written in Scotland in 1994. (It's also about a few other places.) In a time when words and ideas are divisive, come join the feast that is David Greig's powerful play about two refugees who change a small town. The town is already reeling from layoffs at the local factory, and because the trains that link all of Europe no longer stop in the town's station. Everyone in town, old and new, must decide where home is and what they will do to find, make, or keep it. Come see the terror and triumph of worlds colliding in a play that Arts Desk called a?oeTimely, tender, brutal, and brilliant.a??

BWW Review: Seattle Rep's TWO TRAINS RUNNING Undercut with Quiet Strength
The Seattle Rep, fortunately for all of us, has long held a special relationship with the works of August Wilson. They're one of the few theaters in the country to have done his entire Century Cycle sometimes premiering those plays as was the case with 'Two Trains Running' which they produced back in 1991 and have brought back to us this season. And as always, Wilson's plays still resonate and the Rep, this time in conjunction with Arena Stage, continues to present them with tons of honesty and heart.
