There’s still time to catch “A Blanket of Dust” before it closes off Broadway on June 30. Twelve performances are left, including tonight’s at 7, at The Flea Theater.

The play by Richard Squires tells the story of a fictional young widow caught up in a smokescreen of lies and evasions from officialdom as she investigates the non-fictional murder and mayhem of September 11, 2001, that took the lives of thousands including her husband.

Naturally, it has not been reviewed in the mainstream press. A rather patronizing mixed review by Michael Bracken is at http://theaterpizzazz.com/a-blanket-of-dust/ .

The theater’s website describes the play as “a political thriller with a powerhouse cast.

“It is the story of Diana Crane, a modern day Antigone. The daughter of a US Senator whose husband has died in the World Trade Center, her subsequent ordeal in seeking justice for his murder ultimately drives her to the outer fringes of society. Struggling with facts that the government, the media, her family and her countrymen deny, she finally confronts them all in a harrowing act of sacrificial tragedy.”

For Bob McIlvaine’s perspective on the play go to https://www.ae911truth.org/news/459 and scroll down. His son was killed at the WTC on “9/11.”
