Wonderful World
Synopsis:
the down-at-the-heels neighborhood tavern is empty tonight except for CHaRLeY, the bartender, and aLICe, a local independent businesswoman. their apparently idle conversation meanders from aLICe's son, a soldier in the middle east, to CHaRLeY's daughter, an army helicopter pilot, to "quantums," uncertainty, national security, and God, when two strangers show up for a meeting. they seem to be terrorists-a Muslim and a Christian, forging an alliance. as the two apparent terrorists test the limits of their trust in each other, aLICe and CHaRLeY learn of the violent deaths of their children. they take revenge on the terrorists at hand-or are they terrorists, after all? among other questions, Wonderful World asks: Does the passion for security lead only to insupportable insecurity? Has fear and anger collapsed into fatigue and hopelessness? Does quantum physics explain the larger world?
