Читать книгу Mr. Burns and Other Plays - Anne Washburn - Страница 12

NOTE

This play was initially developed with ten actors. Through double-casting the number of actors can be reduced to seven.

Included in the play are excerpts from the King James translation of the Book of Jeremiah, and material overheard on the streets of New York by the playwright and by members of Williamstown’s 2005 Act 1 Company.

This play is inspired by the Book of Jeremiah, and the activities of the Weather Underground. In understanding this play it is not necessary, or even helpful, to have read the book of Jeremiah, or to be familiar with the activities of the Weather Underground.
