Kushner Anti-War Play, Sally Field, Progressive Democrats of America
Edited on Sun Oct-17-04 10:43 PM by Kanary
" Only We Who Guard the Mystery Shall Be Unhappy"

http://www.pdamerica.org/benefit-2004-10-18.php

Don't miss this powerful anti-war "work-in-progress" by America's greatest living playwright, Tony Kushner! Starring Sally Field and Mimi Kennedy as Laura Bush, Only We Who Guard the Mystery Shall Be Unhappy is a substantial, sophisticated, and often hilarious argument against the Bush presidency and the current administration's foreign policy.

Written by the Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright of Angels in America and Homebody/Kabul, this passionate work features Laura Bush reading The Brothers Karamazov to three dead Iraqi children in Heaven as an Angel interprets and comments.

Kushner says, "I wrote it one night over a year ago during the buildup to the second Iraq war. I couldn't sleep, I was so angry, so I wrote this scene...The Nation published the scene before the war started...some people got angry about it...Others took me up on the offer I made in the Nation and they did the play at anti-war rallies around the country..."

Tickets can be purchased online at www.plays411.com or by calling 323-960-4410. For more info, call 818-386-0248. Benefits from this performance will support Progressive Democrats of America and Progressive Majority in their work turning out the progressive and youth votes in key states.

2. RATZ!! Unless you gots $$$$$.
I'm hoping that as some people get interested in it, and express their interest, there will be more performances, and spread to more venues.

Give 'em a call!

Good luck....... it sounds really good.....

Kanary, glad to know Sally Field is out there working for the cause!
