The play is a love story I T

he struggles to tell her story with
le help of a tenacious reporter

"It's easy to say this is a propaanda
piece: anti-government and
nti-media," director Steven

on the relationship between
ie husband and wife and the love
iat lasts throughout."
"Two Rooms" is the Puppet
