A very serious/very funny new play from the writer of last seasons award-winning hit, "Enemies: Foreign and Domestic."
Did you know that palm oil can be found in more than half of all processed goods worldwide? Everything from Oreos to pantyhose.
A small Southeast Asian island is invaded visited by a team of corporate negotiators intent on expanding a palm oil plantation. When a company rep goes rogue and joins the local rebel resistance, Viola Wells takes charge as Lead Negotiator. While fending off the unwanted advances of a corporate teammate, Vi must come to terms with the true nature of her employer: multi-national conglomerate Empire Holdings, Ltd.
Unrequited love meets unregulated capitalism in Hearts of Palm.
