description	This play brings to light critical issues regarding the realization of law in the agricultural context. The 2009 Kyrgyz law “On Pastures” formally reinstated the customary, communal system of pasture usage practiced by Kyrgyz herders throughout history. However even today, 6 years after the law’s implementation, there remains a disparity between pasture users and those administrative bodies tasked with managing pasture resources. The objective of this play is to evoke critical thought and dialogue around this issue. The uniqueness of this piece is its incorporation of the real voice of the pasture user, giving the play especial meaning and resonance. It was of utmost importance to the author to preserve the qualities of ordinary speech, which might be heard on the pastures among users themselves. Any farmer’s voice herein was taken directly from the mouths of pasture users (or translated literally from the Russian in the case of the English and Kyrgyz versions) encompassing an orthography, lexicon, and phonetic character reminiscent of pastoralist chatter in its original form.
