EUROPE, by David Greig, presented by Thalia's Umbrella

A war in eastern Europe scatters refugees across the continent. Disruptions in international trade lead to massive layoffs, which in turn lead to political and racial tensions. This play—first produced in Scotland in 1994—seems to have been written with yesterday's newspaper in one hand.
