The final installment in a three-play cycle exploring the U.S./México drug wars. While the first play was inspired by the "Bravest Woman in México," the second looked into the ridiculous machismo of narco culture as portrayed by women. This third play examines the United States' involvement in the drug wars; from the selling of arms, to the buying of product, to the laundering of cartel money, to the dark, enigmatic cloud of information that is painted over by the American nationalism machine.
This working session is closed to the public.
