Two homeless beggars meet on the streets of New York in the winter
of 1870. One is a handicapped Irish Civil War veteran with a low
self-esteem trying to find something in life to hang on to; the
other a confident, well-educated former slave trying to make the
most of his considerable potential as an accomplished chef. An
exploration of the two men's lives is augmented by images brought
to life through the magic of the ex-slave's cooking. During the
course of this exploration, and subsequent events, it becomes
apparent that the veteran has emerged from the war half slave and
the slave only half free. Rather than a historic drama, the play
comments on the present (often in humorous or absurd tones) through
parallels between the 1870s and current issues: homelessness,
growing extremes of wealth and poverty, corporate greed, a recent
controversial war, and racial/ethnic prejudices.
