"Ballots on Thursday, blood and bullets to follow," promised a rhyme chanted in Arabic by the fundamentalists. In a country where beheading, throat slashing and car bombs have become daily occurrences, no one doubted the militants' fervent wish to drown last Thursday's presidential election in blood...

...play we are led into a warm domestic scene: Wallace's mother (Sarah Matthay) calmly prepares a peanut butter and banana sandwich for little Wallace. After he excitedly snatches the lunch and trots off to the second grade, Wallace's mother jots a note and then slits her throat. As the play progresses, it becomes clear that this is the defining moment of Wallace's life. We know early on why his relationships with women will be screwed up and inevitably end in disaster...
