Warfare

March 24, 1999: NATO bombs begin falling on Serbia, and two journalists are breaking off an affair in a hotel room in New England. Set primarily on this night, the play traces the relationship between Jeff, a drinking man with a marriage problem, and Kim, an ambitious young rising star. Their relationship began to take shape when she was a copy intern at his Providence paper, and has spanned the 1990’s, with the mounting crisis in the Balkans serving as an ominous backdrop. Kim, now a reporter for a more prestigious paper in Boston, is about to leave for Kosovo to cover the war.

They have always disagreed strongly on questions of intervention and power, but everything builds to a breathtaking apex as President Clinton commits troops to the Kosovo conflict, and both journalists make one final power play of their own.
