Drama

Two lifelong friends are about to enter a funeral of a child, a marriage, and their youth. As they shift gears toward the future, it’s pretty clear that the road ahead will be a lot bumpier than the road behind.

Through the lens of three separate stories, Benevolence is an original two act drama about how our most important decisions are rarely made by us.

Maria, a bi-racial Pakistani-American young woman, lives in New York City with her boyfriend Dave. On the eve of Hurricane Sandy, her father Baba comes to visit from Pakistan. Trapped inside, they are forced to confront their differing views on culture, love, and belonging.
