About the play
When an ambitious reporter enters a maximum-security prison to interview a powerful drug lord, he expects to expose corruption and crime from a safe moral distance. Instead, the conversation twists into a confrontation, as the prisoner gradually reveals that the reporter himself is a customer of the very cartel he seeks to condemn. What begins as an exposé becomes a dangerous unmasking, where privilege, hypocrisy, and society’s double standards collide.
The play holds a mirror up to both journalist and audience, asking: who truly sustains the world we claim to oppose?
