The Big City

I have an idea for a play. An articulate, middle class man from the UK travels to America to track down a former US soldier: a guard and torturer from Guantanamo Bay. He finds his former enemy living in poverty, alone, in a trailer park in Atlanta. How does the new power balance in their relationship affect them? Do they discover that they now have more in common with each other than they do with the people around them? And who will win the heart of Millie, winsome, big-hearted owner of the local store? No, strike that last bit.
