This play is enjoying its world premiere at an enterprising six-year-old regional theater, Stage/West, located in Springfield, Mass. Like several other such theaters, Stage/West tries to make room in its repertory season for new and serious drama. In recent years, some of these plays have reached New York and won critical acclaim.

A bulldozer started the crowd scattering by rolling a massive pile of steel sewer pipes at it. While water wagons high-arched jets of cold water at the crowd, other trucks careened along sidewalks and up grass embankments in pursuit of fleeing people...
