W.C. is a new play by Antonio Ribeiro, which explores
the themes of justice, religion, and personal redemption in the
world today.
Toilet-attendant and homespun philosopher, Ted, creates and executes
his personal model of law and order within the walls of a subterranean
public toilet.
With the help of his devoted disciple, Rob, Ted sets out on his
mission to bring justice to what he sees as a corrupt world.
When a clown and an evangelic preacher wander into Ted's domain
of the W.C. he forces them to dismantle their public masks and
face the consequences of their beliefs and actions.
W.C.'s writer and director, Antonio Ribeiro, says: "It's
easy to believe in God, when you are not sure about yourself.
This play examines the issues of how people have misused religion
and law to justify their own actions - thereby making the distinction
of right and wrong incidental."
