A Walk in the Woods - a play by Lee Blessing

A Walk in the Woods - a play by Lee Blessing

A play that asks the question: Can two people save the world from disaster? Will a walk in the woods be the road to salvation or a path to destruction?

A Walk in the Woods depicts the developing relationship between two arms limitation negotiators, one Russian, Andrey Botvinnik, and one American, Joan Honeyman, over a year of negotiations. They eventually develop a relationship, although their personalities differ. Botvinnik is friendly and enjoys American culture, Honeyman is formal and idealistic.
Note: the play is suggested by a real-life incident, which occurred in 1982. "Negotiators Paul H. Nitze and Yuli A. Kvitsinsky left the official Geneva sessions for an unofficial "walk in the woods" and achieved a breakthrough, soon rejected by their Governments."
