522. McCain on the Low-Road Express.

Author

Pamela Leavey

Abstract

There’s no more “straight talk express” from John McCain, instead he’s signed up for a one way ticket on the “low-road express” with “disciples of Karl Rove from the 2004 campaign and the Bush White House,” heading up the efforts as the conductors of “low-minded and uncivil” political plays and tactics. Should we have expected anything less? Absolutely not… In recent weeks, Mr. McCain has been waving the flag of fear (Senator Barack Obama wants to "lose” in Iraq), and issuing attacks that are sophomoric (suggesting that Mr. Obama is a socialist) and false (the presumptive Democratic nominee turned his back on wounded soldiers). Mr. McCain used to pride himself on being above this ugly brand of politics, which killed his own 2000 presidential bid. But he clearly tossed his inhibitions aside earlier this month when he put day-to-day management of his campaign in the hands of one acolyte of Mr. Rove and gave top positions to two others. The résumés of the new team's members included stints in Mr. Bush's White House and in his 2004 re-election campaign, one of the most negative and divisive in memory. Almost immediately, the McCain campaign was using Mr. Rove's well-honed tactics, starting with an attempt to widen this nation's damaging ideological divide by painting Mr. Obama as a far-left kook. On July 18, Mr. McCain even suggested that Mr. Obama is a socialist to the left of the Senate's only avowed socialist: Bernie Sanders of Vermont. If you are among the voters who have wondered if 4 - 8 years of John McCain would simply be an extension of the Bush Administration, think no more, the indications are clear (and have been to many of us): “If the way Mr. McCain is running his campaign these days is an indication, Americans don't have to wait until next January for the answer to that one.” Tags: Acolyte, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders Of Vermont, Bush Administration, Conductors, Day Management, Inhibitions, John McCain, Karl Rove, Kook, Mccain Campaign, Mr Bush, Mr Mccain, Political Plays, Presumptive Democratic Nominee, Senator Barack Obama, Stints, Straight Talk Express, Way Ticket, Wounded Soldiers [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

524. Political Theater, Brought to You By the Politically Powerless.

Author

Brantley, Ben

*THEATER reviews, *POLITICAL plays
Abstract

A playwright's legacy throbs with anguished, enduring life in ''Being Harold Pinter,'' a work of harrowing intensity and commitment from the Belarus Free Theater at La MaMa, part of the Under the Radar Festival of experimental theater that began this week. Tracing the relationship between power and violence in the works of Pinter, who died in 2008, this production out of Eastern Europe is both dismaying and extraordinarily heartening. For while ''Being Harold Pinter'' would seem to confirm the worst conjectures of its subject's late-career, expressly political dramas -- all parables of state-sanctioned crimes against humanity -- it is also a testament to the power of a single playwright to inspire, illuminate and give articulate voice to powerlessness. Created by a troupe for which performance is an act of potentially imprisonable defiance, and whose members' arrival in New York remained uncertain until this week because of recent conflicts with the Belarus state police, ''Being Harold Pinter'' is truly passionate, truly political theater.

Abstract

Comic drama / 4m, 1m child, 1f child / Unit set / While fleeing a civil war, Al comes across Angel trussed up and waiting to be hung. Al is pulling a cart loaded with art treasures he has salvaged from bombed out churches and museums. He hopes to barter his way into The Land of the Free with them, but the cart has become too heavy for Al to pull. He rescues the brutish Angel to help. On the open road Al teaches Angel about literature, music and art history so that he will make a good citizen. When they reach the border, they are told they must execute a troublemaker named Jesus Christ to earn their freedom. He has been severely tortured and is catatonic, though he can still play the cello beautifully. Angel and Al are unable to do the deed so the monk in charge takes care of it and has them crucified.

534. "MASTER HAROLD" . . . and the Boys: Analysis of Setting.

Author

Bily, Cynthia A.

Subjects
Setting (Literature), Master Harold...And the Boys (Play : Fugard), Political plays
Abstract

*Port Elizabeth. City on the southern coast of South Africa. A strictly segregated city at the time of the play, Port Elizabeth is inhabited only by white families like the family of seventeen-year-old South African boy Harold (Hally), by a small merchant class of Indian origin, and by the black servants of these groups. Most black workers like Willie, who is employed in the tearoom owned by Hally’s parents, might have jobs in Port Elizabeth, but they come into the city by bus from black townships and neighborhoods including New Brighton, Kingwilliamstown, and the other localities represented in Willie’s blacks-only dance competition. Hally has lived so long as one of the privileged whites in segregated areas that he is usually unaware that others’ movements are more restricted than his own. Until Sam tells him near the end of the play, he goes for years without realizing that the reason Sam did not stay on the park bench and fly the kite with Hally is that the bench was restricted to whites only.
