George Ryga’s play Seven Hours to sundown deals with the dynamics which operates at the level of an individual and as well as at the political level. It highlights how individuals with their innocent demands get mired into the intrigues and play of power politics indulged in by the people at the administrative realms. The play shows the struggle waged by characters like Irma, Goyda and even Kiosk the mayor innocently and become victims at the hands of political manipulators like Janice the newspaper correspondent, Dolan, the newspaper proprietor and Tom Rossini the alderman on the other side. It shows how a simple demand of Goyda becomes a matter of group politics.
