The characters who inhabit Varma’s play are all seeking the common good. But they are not guided by the same priorities. To get what they want, they must negotiate with each other. Each time they do, something is lost. And these losses ultimately add up to disaster. This play—a pitiless analysis of the stakes of globalization—explores how this happens.
