  Biro: Review on TheaterMania.com
The name, we are told, means "beware of time." Time is something Biro cannot afford to waste: Arrested for drunken disorderly conduct, he finds himself accused of a crime that he did not commit and is exposed as an illegal immigrant to the United States.
Biro gives a capsule history of his country's political situation and the tyrannical regimes of General Idi Amin and President Milton Obote.
The piece is more successful when Biro tells specific stories, such as the one about his mother coming to the NRA camp and demanding to be allowed to bring her son home.

When Biro finally reaches out and says "Please help me" with a quiet, vulnerable fury, it doesn't feel didactic.
