The drama about "the consequences of one couple's seemingly innocuous business trip to Cambodia" features Hinkle ("Two and a Half Men") and Mather Zickel ("Rachel Getting Married") as the couple. Opening is June 1 opening at Geffen's intimate Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater.
Pam MacKinnon (At Home at the Zoo, Steppenwolf's Broadway-bound Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) directs.
Watanabe plays Sopoan, "the couple's guide through the unfamiliar territory." Chau ("Lost") and Gelman play the roles "of a high-powered Cambodian businessman and his wife," respectively. According to Geffen, "As business deals unravel and personal negotiations brim with political consequences, the couple must decide if the salvation of one life is worth sacrificing the justice of many."
