Summary
The Conduct of Life, a play written by Maria Irene Fornes, described the second wave of feminism. Set in Latin America in 1985, The Conduct of Life revolved around a husband and a wife. The husband, Orlando, was a 33-year-old soldier and his wife Leticia, was ten years older. They did not live in harmony. Leticia was considered inferior and useless. Orlando, on the other hand, was very ambitious in pursuing his career. In addition, he had a strong sexual drive. Orlando kept a twelve-year-old girl in the warehouse and abused this girl as his sex slave.
Orlando underwent a series of conflicts. He was accused of murdering a suspect in an interrogation. The conflict grew complicatd as Leticia found out about the girl kept in the warehouse. As Nena, the girl that Orlando kept in the warehouse, became the member of the family, Leticia became depressed and sad. In this play, Artantya Krispradipta, as the director, gave some improvisation to the actors, so this play looked real as  in the 1985 and so entertaining.
