In UNITED NATIONS: THE OTHER WEST three diplomats and a rule-based UN staffer are locked down because of a protest outside. As their personalities and peculiarities emerge, we are invited to share some noteworthy philosophies, both in French and in English, such as “Saying sorry is a way to avoid accountability.” At the end of the play, we realize there is a lot more hostility and tension inside than anything the protesters are doing outside. The characters are full-fledged actors with their witty dialogue, and we keep shifting our loyalties depending on who is making the most compelling argument.
