Griffin Theatre Company: Griffin Theatre: Savior
16 May @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm AEST

A typhoon hits the Philippines, and local project officer Michelle lands her dream assignment. It’s her first time coordinating a global relief effort for a sleek American NGO. A chance to change lives, to be the changemaker she always dreamed of! All she has to do is smash her KPI’s and avoid her chaotic bestie Janna – who’s just set Michelle up with her first ever Tinder profile. “Nerd girl seeks fact boi for hot data sesh”
Then, Michelle’s phone blows up with blonde-haired, blue-eyed faces. The Americans have arrived. Soon, rooftop parties replace field work and the humanitarian response devolves into a bureaucratic mess – led by her smooth-talking new boss, who’s as morally flexible as he is sexy.
As the lines between charity and self-interest blur, Michelle is forced to choose between her ambition, her conscience, and her country.
