A haunting and poetic two-hander, When the World Was Green tells the story of an OLD MAN, once a renowned chef, now imprisoned for murder, and a YOUNG WOMAN, a reporter who comes to interview him. As they navigate their conversation, their lives intertwine through themes of memory, fate, and regret, revealing a world shaped by generational vendettas, lost identities, and the search for meaning. Through lyrical dialogue and evocative storytelling, the play explores the weight of inherited history and the human desire for redemption.
