The Final Debate

Recommended by

  • Shaun Leisher: The Final Debate

    Bublitz does a great job at making the well-known gun debate so compelling. Judging by the subject matter, I knew something was going to happen by the end of the play but nothing could prepare me for this twist. The perspective of this play is clear but Bublitz brilliantly portrays the "other side" in a nuanced way. I hope this play forces audiences to not just think of victimes of shootings as statistics. These victims are human beings that should still be alive if not for powerful and wealthy individuals.

    This well-written play carries you along a recognizable road until it blows you away with truth and reality. It is very meaningful regarding gun violence. The teenage roles would be welcome in any high school or adult theatre. Well done Bublitz.

    A timely piece where students pick up the mantle for people to value their lives and finally take action on gun control. Well done.
