The Swearing Jar by Kate Hewlett and directed by Ursula Pattloch

A young college student living on an island off BC, informs his family that he has arranged the sponsorship of a refugee from El Salvador as a class project. Set in 1990, while a devastating civil war raged in that country, this award-winning play explores what it means and feels like to relate to someone who has endured intense personal grief, and to consider how we ourselves would react.
