Abstract
In this monologue, The Job, a young Pakistani journalist takes us on a journey through the political and cultural landscape of post-9/11 Pakistan during the US war in Afghanistan. The Pakistani government is allowing Americans to resupply through Pakistan, but the Taliban, an old society which spans both sides of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, targets the government of Pakistan, and the Pakistani people are caught in the middle. This play is not for the faint of heart.
