Liberation

If you can, go see “A Blanket of Dust” before the remaining four performances of its initial off-Broadway run are over Saturday. If you can’t, animate someone who can to go see it.

I finally did, and found last night’s show riveting. I know that’s a cliché and won’t go into the details because I’m not a professional theater reviewer (for reviews by people who meet that description, see the June 18, 22 and 25 entries below).

Mainstream reviewers have stayed away from “A Blanket of Dust.” It wouldn’t do to review it because their organizations are dedicated to ignoring researchers’ increasing evidence burying the U.S. government’s impossible narrative about the mass murders of September 11, 2001–and its first scenes take place on that day. So they’re not free to review it.

The character around whom everything revolves, 9/11 widow Diana Crane (Angela Pierce) has been likened to Sophocles’ Antigone. More pertinent, “A Blanket of Dust” concerns liberation, hers and her journalist brother’s, and what is required for America’s liberation.

A video of the discussion after last night’s show may find its way to the Internet. But the play may not.

Go.
