Charles Kabre is new in town as the ambassador for the military junta in Burkina Faso in West Africa. When climate activists force a lockdown of the UN headquarters, he’s trapped with the Russian and German representatives, Agata and Rudolph, who are both eager to exert their influence on him and have their own strange relationship with each other. All three are implored to stay put by a UN staffer out of her depth, and so the global battle for power in Africa rages just outside the UN cafeteria.
This new play is a follow up to Thirdwing’s acclaimed 2022 play United Nations: The Border and The Coast. It is supplemented by a host of related streaming stories on Thirdwing’s platform including the original 2020 web series The United Nations, a 2022 streaming adaptation of The Border and The Coast and the upcoming new series Tribes, with its premiere episode airing in November.
