A Man of
Good Hope

★★★½

“Highly inspiring...a portrait of sheer human resilience. If you do not empathize with Asad and regard him as having shown the courage that would make him a productive member of any society lucky enough to have him arrive at its door, than I wonder about your heart.”

-CHICAGO TRIBUNE
 

“Miss it at your own peril.
Heart-wrenching, fiercely honest, staggeringly beautiful…
If you care about the plight of immigrants and refugees; the nature of human endurance; and the power of theater, dance, music and bravura talent to illuminate the quest for survival, you will not let this show pass you by. It is artistry of the highest form.”

-WTTW CHICAGO TONIGHT

“Isango Ensemble's storytelling methods are what make the production truly special. The production skillfully incorporates stellar vocals and percussion, lending the entire show an innate musicality.”

-BROADWAY WORLD

“Highly Recommended. A top pick for anyone who admires the power of theater to teach and transport us into other worlds. Here we learn to walk not one but many thousands of miles in a refugee’s shoes.”
