In the Solitude of Cotton Fields is a play written by Bernard Marie Koltès in 1985. It is a two-person play involving The Client and Dealer. They negotiate a deal on the streets late at night. The play moves through mutual solitude with the Dealer unable to sell and the Client unable to buy. It’s never clear what each character has to offer each other. Koltès is interested in negotiation, power and violence and the way we treat each other.
A translation from the French is available online.
