While Asylum grapples with mature themes, it is a play for anyone 16+ years old.

• The story will appeal to anyone who cares about our current political climate and the confusion it has created about who we love, why we love them, and can we still love them even if they express their true inner darkness

• The young LGBTQ+ characters who yearn to be accepted for who they are will resonate with younger audiences

• The young Afghan character will appeal to anyone young or older who cares about the human right to be 1) where and 2) who they want to be
