Two diplomats in the middle of peace talks take a private walk in the woods trying to achieve a breakthrough in the muddled negotiations between their two countries. Will their good intentions succeed where official channels have failed? What role do individuals play in the larger games that governments set in motion? Do we have a say in securing our future and that of a world armed with nuclear weapons? And what of the longing of people on both sides to make contact with each other?
Lee Blessing's play creates a fictional situation of a special kind of meeting, uniquely pressured and bound by geography, history and professional etiquette. When we first read the play, the parallels to the sub-continent were too compelling to resist and an adaptation seemed the natural thing to do. As it happens, the relationship between India and Pakistan continues to swing between hope and despair while people in both countries find various ways to connect with each other.
