“The Third Army...is a drama
of stripping away guilty secrets, of exposing lies and counterfeit identities,
of discovering betrayal and of playing games of deceit…Sutton’s play casts a
fascinating spell as it focuses on an idealistic mayor of a small city who finds
himself courted by a rich refugee who has returned to his native land... [as the
play seizes] ...on a real problem, the fate of a Chernobyl-like nuclear power
plant called Temelin.”
Hartford Courant
“The time is post-Cold War. The place is the small town of Karlovec,
neighboring on the Soviet-built, but unfinished nuclear power plant, as Western
industries compete for the lucrative contract to reconstruct the plant, they try
to win the political support of the town and its mayor, Pavel Marek, who must
weigh the safety of his people against the alluring promise of economic
prosperity.”
