    This is a fascinating piece sure to make people think. It really makes my directing gears start turning -- I really want to find ways to present this important story to the world! This would provide really valuable work for students, and might work well as a reader's theater or radio play as well (if the playwright is amenable, of course). What really matters is that this work is important and needs to be experienced!
