Play: MUZUNGU by David Myers

Synopsis: Armed with a spirit of adventure and a desire to do good in the world, Matthew arrives in Rwanda to build a computer center and aid the locals.  In a neighborhood massage parlor, Mattie gives Matthew more than he bargains for.  As the two try to reconcile their relationship and find a way forward, they are both attracted and repulsed; seduced and disturbed by the bond between them.  They are ultimately transformed in a way completely unforeseen by either party.  MUZUNGU explores the unseen motives in doing good, and the unexpected consequences of lending a helping hand.
