I think that plays like these are good to have performed so that people can become better informed of what is happening on the other side of the world. It is also a way of bring out their emotions and making people truly think about how lucky they are compared to those in foreign countries. This type of play is a great artistic representation of how someone can help spread the knowledge of what devastation is occurring in other less fortunate countries.
