Theatre

• September 14 -- Anti-War Play "Not Half as Scary as the Real Thing"
Brantley finds the vision of Bush provided by an anti-war play in London disturbing: "But an alarming, unyielding centeredness gradually reveals itself, suggesting that Mr. Bush has found in his born-again Christianity something akin to the divine right of kings."

• February 24 -- More Cushy Press for Reagan-Hating Tony Kushner
Marxist, Reagan-hating playwright Tony Kushner is again praised in the Times, by theatre critic Ben Brantley: "And be grateful that Mr. Kushner, in the liberal tradition of E. M. Forster, continues to probe the West's failure to connect with cultures different from its own."

• February 18 -- The Bushies vs. Peace
Margo Jefferson reviews a production of socialist Bertolt Brecht's anti-war play "Mother Courage and Her Children" and suggests it has contemporary resonance: "…an army officer complains, 'Peace is one big waste of equipment.' These words sound contemporary."

• January 22 -- "Tainted" by "Cold War Paranoia"
Theatre critic Margo Jefferson takes a pro forma liberal shot at "cold war paranoia."
