THE STORY: A nameless narrator of this blistering monologue lies ill and alone in a dreary hotel room in a poverty-stricken country. A political execution is about to take place beneath their window. Far from the glib comforts of their own lives, they struggle with memories and their own consciences, which are challenged by the misery and poverty seen. With compassion, eloquence, and ruthless self-scrutiny, the playwright discovers that having good intentions toward the dispossessed is not enough. As the narrators reminisce and agonize over their own responsibility for the downtrodden, they reach the inevitable conclusion that the politically correct are guilty themselves unless they take action. Aghast at their own weakness, they long for forgiveness, and the strength to earn it.
