Dobama Theatre presents the Midwest Premiere of
The Call by Tanya Barfield
Directed by Matthew Wright
"Tanya Barfield is a smart, funny playwright with a gift for spinning current,
global events into the stuff of living-room drama.
And in "The Call," she doesn't let anyone – white or black – off the hook."
- Andrea Simakis, The Plain Dealer
"Directed with equal parts dignity, urgency and comedy by Matthew Wright, (The Call) invites audience members to
make their own choices about what they would do in a similar situation. He also creates an overall ambience that
makes viewers feel right at home during the show, as if we were sitting on the couch next to the characters."

Annie and Peter are a middle-aged white couple looking to adopt a child from Africa. When they receive surprising news from the adoption agency, their marriage is put to the test, secrets are exposed and they are forced to make an unexpected choice. THE CALL is an intimate portrait of cultural divide, both politically-charged and tack-smart funny.
