Public Theater adds 'Darfur'

Variety.com: "The Public Theater is getting political, adding a developmental production of Winter Miller’s “In Darfur” to its spring sked.

Set in the violence-ridden Sudanese region, topical tale follows the intersecting lives of an aid worker, a journalist and Darfuri woman."

Wow, I'd really like to see that. Or at least read it. Sounds interesting. Too bad we have mostly school for those two weeks.

p.s. Why doesn't the word verification ever work the first time?

I find it interesting that there are no critics allowed to the performances. It address the whole thing of Public Backlash, and considering they are using part of the earnings to benefit Darfur organizations, the maximum attendance is a huge help. It is interesting to compare this to the High School in Connecticut that was trying to put on a political play.
