POLITICOS

a play in one act

by Paolo Mazzucato


Two friends, living in a post-modern wasteland, seek to better their circumstances by campaigning for elected office. Through their encounters with an odd cast of characters, they confront philosophical and existential questions that threaten both their world view and their friendship and come to realize that their initial, noble motivation for change has been corrupted by self-interest and the allure of power.


POLITICOS was first performed in the New Works and New Genres Series at the Organic Theater in Chicago, Illinois, in 1988.
