The screenwriter of the play is really powerful, and he can tell the political ecology of US imperialism in a simple way between laughter and anger.
The whole drama reveals all kinds of darkness and ugliness behind power.
Yet, in the wake of an absurd farce, these characters are able to regain their hearts and make decisions that are good for their country and the world at a critical moment, which is both ironic and hopeful...
