In denial of the risks involved, he arrives at Ben Gurion Airport with his wife and star student in tow, only to find himself detained without explanation. As he waits in limbo, Walid begins questioning the stories he has told--to his colleagues, to his wife, to himself--and the compromises he has made to succeed in the West.About the PlaywrightR.
