They both seek to better their circumstances by campaigning for elected office, but after encountering a cast of odd characters, from a legless beggar in need of help, to a rich man in need of a favor, they come to see that their initial noble motivation for change has been corrupted by self-interest and the allure of power. Only an ultimate act of sacrifice will open their eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e_____\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Playwright Edition may be used in its entirety for student, amateur or non-profit theatrical productions, without royalty fee (with notification to dramalite@bepibooks.com).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEquity or For-Profit productions may inquire about any applicable royalty fees at dramalite@bepibooks.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e_____\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecast of characters\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeber: an uncertain man in an uncertain time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsh: Weber's friend\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUna: a woman who asks questions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVoice: a disembodied voice\/an unseen watcher\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeggar: a poor man, in need of legs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich Man: a rich man, in need of a favor\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 24, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47396292460793,"sku":"9781733640633","price":10.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/eEVmWktDd0E2L0p1eVM5cWFmUFRrUT09.webp?v=1770277288","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/politicos-a-play-in-one-act-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
