A comedy at the outset, Park revolves around three guys in a park wanting more space even when they have three empty benches at their service.

The dialogue moves on to reveal the politics behind it all, tearing off the mask of everything that is wrong. The witty repertoires are something that you would enjoy through the course of the play.
