Iraq play is a tragicomedy
Los Angeles Times: "Two little men argue on a creaky stage, locked like electrons in orbit, while an actress wearing a powdered face and red lipstick lurks in the wings near a harried director who repeats 'God willing' into a cellphone as the audience for the evening's performance gathers in the lobby, whiffs of perfume competing with the faint scent of gunpowder."

I am not really sure how to react to this.. As a western-raised person i feel that this is perhapsa bit to touchy of a subject to touch down on let a lone make a comedy out of? Its all about perspective I believe and this gives perspective alright... If there was a terrorist attack on the theatre and the audiences kept on coming in the same amounts, this tells of either of two things. The people have become so accustom to these types of events and/or the production was actually really good and got a message across to an audience. It could be both things actually and i wouldnt be surprised but this is still something I do not see hitting america really soon.
