Two Big Black Bags
About the Play:
James is an Argentine veteran of the 1982 Malvinas/Falklands War. Following a drunken spree at the casino, he wakes to a big surprise in his living room: two big black bags containing ten million dollars. Confused, yet determined to turn his life around, he embarks on a marvelous adventure from Seattle to South America. But is he willing to face the ghosts of his past in order to transform his future?
