Through street talk and raunchy humor the two plays in this volume present a stinging critique of social injustice. In a slum on the banks of a fetid canal society's victims the cockroaches of this world, the poor prostitutes beggars and thieves, play out their struggle with life. They are the bomb ready to explode. Time Bomb and Cockroach Opera showing the dark �underside� to elite prosperity subvert rather than affirm common assumptions.
