Based on the best-selling novel by Chris Cleave, Little Bee is an international political thriller that goes straight to the heart of the tumultuous lives of refugees. After a chance encounter on a beach in Nigeria, the fates of Sarah, a middle-class Englishwoman, and Little Bee, a Nigerian woman, become forever intertwined. Cleave was inspired to write the book by the many refugees he encountered while working in an asylum detention center. Little Bee will soon be made into a movie starring Nicole Kidman, but first you can experience this powerful story brought to life with the immediacy of live theater in this Book-It Repertory production at Center Theatre in Seattle.
