The Death of Griffin Hunter is the story of Griffin Hunter, the Secretary of Disarmament for the United Nations. When Hunter flies to San Francisco to sign a disarmament treaty with 90 nations, he is quickly embroiled into the crypto-psychotic grip of Vaad Sirat, an international weapons cartel that will stop at nothing to seduce Hunter to destroy himself and his vision for a better world. This thrilling “play noir” not only features 30 sensational characters, an Iranian Tazi’ya play-within-the-play, and intricate and compelling plot twists, but it is a timely meditation on the complexities of peacemaking in a world where war means profit.

The play can be done with a cast of 12 with cross-casting.

It was originally produced by Inverse Theater in NYC, and then at Theater of NOTE in LA. The former’s production page is here.
