A most topical and very politically visionary drama about a brutal conflict at one of the Eastern European borders. Simultaneously, the war intensifies while diplomats are working hard at finding a peaceful solution. In an intelligent manner the action changes between the negotiation table and the absurd venue of war. Following THE SHAPE OF THE TABLE (1990) and PENTECOST (1994) this play is the third of Edgar’s plays about the world after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
