Review: A WALK IN THE WOODS Hints Why Arms Negotiations May Never Result in a Treaty Being Signed
Actors Co-op Theatre Company presents the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award nominated drama A Walk in the Woods, written in 1988 by playwright Lee Blessing. The witty two-hander concerns a relationship between two arms negotiators, one Russian and one American, and what happens when they step out of the war room and into the woods above Geneva, Switzerland, during a year of negotiations. Although the two eventually develop a friendly relationship, their personalities certainly differ in that the American is formal and idealistic while the Russian is easily led off topic and very pessimistic that any agreement will ever amount to any changes in the escalating arms race.
