This play takes place on a New Year's Eve in an unnamed country in the home of two immigrants

One is a political exile, an intellectual who gets his money from a mysterious source. The other is a ditch digger who is saving money to bring over his family

At first it seems the laborer is uncouth and dependent upon the intellectual, but gradually we come to see that the situation is the opposite

"It's a political philosophical discussion of modern life skillfully wrapped in a comic package" ~ Minneapolis Tribune

"A provocative political document and stimulating theatre" ~ N.Y. Times
