" Only We Who Guard the Mystery Shall Be Unhappy"
http://www.pdamerica.org/benefit-2004-10-18.phpDon'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..."
