i saw my friend's play last night in boston and it made me think of you. it's called "dying city" by christopher shinn. description:

[When an Iraq war widow is unexpectedly visited by her dead husband's twin brother, the two are forced to explore the repercussions of their loss, confront the secrets of the past, and admit the truth about the tragic legacy that connects them. Called "an achingly compassionate new play" by Variety, this off-Broadway hit explores the deep and profound impact historical and political events have on the individual. The New York Times credits playwright Christopher Shinn, author of this "transfixing tale of grief and violence," as "among the most provocative and probing of American playwrights today."]

the acting was amazing, but the thing i really liked about it was that it showed the effect of the war on individuals in a realistic setting. it showed both sides of the issue, and didn't just favor the side the playwright agreed with. it was poignant and touching and i cried like a bitch for the last twenty minutes. i really like theater that's all about human relationships, and this one hit the nail on the head. i think it's up for a pulitzer this year, and is definitely worth a read (if you guys are into plays - who knows, i might be the only one).
