First English edition of Allen's rapid-fire dialogue. 16mo, original wrappers. In near fine condition. Signed by the author on the front free endpaper.
Allen employs rapid-fire dialogue, slapstick humor, and situational irony to satirize the bureaucratic incompetence and cultural clashes that characterized the Cold War era. Beneath its comedic surface, the play critiques authoritarianism and the fragility of international relations while celebrating human resilience and the pursuit of freedom.
