Publisher's Synopsis
Deus Comedietta Even as the world is in poverty and turmoil, man has never found himself guilty. He always has someone to blame. If it is not nature, it must be his neighbor. Blicken says to Deus, 'You share nothing fair". However, is Deus not right to say, "As you slack, so shall you lack"? Even as man makes unbalanced policies as Blicken observes, "Witiniko vetoed equality." Witiniko says, "Veto works for peace". But is Deus not right when he says, "...peace eludes...for you...Congregate to segregate"? Even as man depraves his value, there is an excuse. Witiniko says, "I have an argument." Bur is it not true that man, as Lady Witiniko claims, "... always have an argument...argument to steal...argument to kill...argument to destroy"? Perhaps it is this claim to individual argument that has turned a beautiful world into a wasteland of global scum. This short play, in a peculiar way, maneuvers through a labyrinth of issues, asking bold questions regarding concepts of time, corruption, freedom, inequality, religion, humanity, and so on.
