‍Countries are made of laws, and laws are made of words. So are plays. How strange.

The Barbarians is an imaginative, word-drunk romp through that strangeness, a play about a description of a play about a group of scientists gumming up the linkage between language and political power (much to Madam President Fake President's chagrin). The Barbarians nestles in the valley between the word and the world, the declaration of war and the war itself—what if the President declared a war, but the words wouldn't work?

Presented in Association with Third Ear and Immediate Medium.
