The first act of LAND OF THE TIGERS takes place in a world much like our own – except with Tigers who worship a volcano goddess, fight brutal wars with swans and fret over global cooling. The second act takes the audience back to the first day of rehearsal for the abomination they’ve just witnessed, in a satire of the inherent folly and nobility of creating a work of art.
