An electric, dark comedy, Gagarin Way uses the high-voltage story of a botched kidnapping to explore its characters’ conflicting impulses toward apathy and outrage. Two dispossessed factory workers decide to make a political statement by kidnapping an executive from the factory’s multi-national corporate owner. The problem is that the Cold War is long since over. The workers are too late for the revolution, and they find that their hostage challenges their assumptions about the evils of a global economy. From the author of the acclaimed Black Watch.
