“When I first met David and Irene, none of us knew how timely the message of "Come From Away" would soon become. I think it's not a coincidence that the musical's appeal has grown at the same time as we've seen a resurgence of talk by people of influence in the public sphere that encourages people who fear or hate foreigners or people from different cultures. Civil wars, climate change, and religious conflicts have caused the world's refugee crisis to grow, and people are struggling with how to handle strangers in need arriving upon their doorsteps and at the borders.”
