With Aftermath, playwrights Jessica Blank and Eric Jensen are writing in the style of documentary theatre, and have come up with a powerful account of the Iraq war from the perspective of every day citizens and how their lives changed forever the day the Americans arrived in their country.
By interviewing a crossection of working class Iraqi people, the playwrights have written a devestating play about what it means to be invaded by an outside power, and the way their lives changed. Seldom has a play explored the feelings of the common man the way this one does, and it's unflinching honesty make this play something to see.
The play is very well staged by co-author Jessica Blank, and acted with uncommon skill by a superb cast.
Aftermath only runs till Oct.4. It is worth checking out.
