A New Play Brings the Deepwater Horizon Disaster to the Stage

NYTimes.com: “Spill,” a new play based on interviews with dozens of people affected by the Gulf of Mexico oil rig explosion in 2010, will have its premiere production this spring in the state that was at the center of the environmental disaster. The drama, which features some 30 real-life characters speaking in the verbatim style of the documentary-like “Laramie Project” plays, will run March 12 through 30, at the Swine Palace theater on the Louisiana State University campus in Baton Rouge, the theater and the play’s creators announced on Sunday.
