Red-shirt activists, yellow-clad campaigners, politicians and anti-coup critics have put their differences aside - at least temporarily - for one special mission.
The Last Station made its media debut on Friday at the Centara Government Complex Hotel and Convention Centre Chaeng Wattana in what was a rare gathering of people from different political camps.
The play reflects the political conflicts in the country with a key message that people can live together regardless of their differences.
Just as noteworthy as the play's message are the people taking part. They include two main actors: Sombat Boon-ngamanong, a staunch critic of the coup, and Tankhun Jit-itsara, who joined the now-defunct People's Alliance for Democracy against Dictatorship (PAD), though he opposed the coup.
Other familiar names include Payao Akkahad of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship and Veera Somkwamkid, an activist who has been outspoken in his criticism of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his successors.
All are members of the Promotion of a Peaceful Society advanced certificate course at King Prajadhipok's Institute. And putting on a play is part of the curriculum for Class 6.
"Many believe that those in different camps and subscribing to different colours can't do anything together. This class has showed that they can," said Gen Ekkachai Sriwilas, head of the Office for Peace and Governance at the institute, who oversees the course.
Mr Sombat, who is facing a fresh accusation from authorities over anti-regime messages, offered some of the ideas that helped bring the play into being, saying that openness to the views of the other side and giving people with different opinions space to express their views would be a way to manage conflicts, Post Today reported.
Mr Veera, who is a classmate of Mr Sombat but from the opposite political camp, said that any attempt to solve conflicts would be impossible if all camps refuse to lower their guard to listen to the other side.
After the debut show on Friday, the actors will share the stage for two more free shows on Saturday at 2pm and 6pm. Seating is limited for those who want some welcome dramatic relief before real life returns on Sunday.
