Massacre: A Play

About this book

Massacre begins with a system engineered to direct everyone toward the desires of those at its summit. Corruption deforms each level of the structure, reproducing misery while stories of terror keep the population afraid. Hossam Kandil's play turns this mechanism into a stark conflict between power and justice. When some of its victims resolve to break the system forever, the decisive question is not simply whether rebellion is possible, but whether liberation achieved through a massacre can escape the logic it opposes.
