Three Amazing Theater Events: Part One
DS is not promising cheap. Then again, since many of us have saved money staying home to watch Bush and Kerry, we just might be able to afford some more.
1. DESMOND TUTU WAS HERE
Archbishop
Tutu, nobel peace prize winner, motivating force and spiritual leader behind the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa, is one of the truly good beings of this world. Find him off-broadway- that often beautiful swamp of washed-up ideas, and you've seen a clear sign that this is not a world for good beings.
Tutu is a man of deep dignity and humor, taller than he looks and deeper than his sunny accent. His Gandolfian apperance in the middle of this mess we've made is at once a relief and an embarrassment. An indication that we, in this country, dropped the ball in the human rights department.
Will he get this president to back off his implication, during last night's debate, that the International Criminal Court is just a trend in "certain European capitals" probably not. [hash bars, red light districts, and notions of international justice. Crazy Europeans].
Will he bring our Supreme Court justices back from the belief that the Geneva Conventions on POWs and torture is not self executing- and so technically not enforceable against this government? [O'Connor during the Guantanamo cases, last july], certainly not.
Besides, he is not even visible anymore: he appeared- for only two performances last week, then left.
But it might still be worth seeing the play he decided to grace. If only to absorb some second-hand halo.
PLAY:
Guantanamo: Honor Bound To Defend Freedom , a play based on the testimony of Guantanamo detainees, lawyers and public officials. Review .
WHERE:
45 Bleecker Street, just east of Lafayette.
PRICE:
Is unbearable, at $55-60. Call 212-307-4100 or buy online.
WHEN:
Open run, Tuesday to Saturday at 8 pm, 3pm Matinees Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday. Call: 212-253-9983
Peace.... and go to the theater.
