Introduction

Set during the late Cold War period of the mid 1980s, this play follows the informal conversations of two nuclear arms negotiators – one American, the other Soviet – whilst they take a walk in the woods away from the table. The

American is new to the job and has an optimism and enthusiasm that he can make a difference; on the other hand the Russian has been in the job many years and has grown cynical about how much they can achieve.

The play is set in four scenes over the four seasons, and as they get to know each other better their relationship improves from an initially awkward start. Both characters are on stage throughout and should be a rewarding challenge for any actor.

This play premiered at the Booth Theatre, Broadway, New York City in 1988.
