Stuff Happens: A case study of the Pathocrats that are ruining our Planet, performed on Stage!
Yesterday night I went to the National Theatre in New York City, to see Stuff Happens, by Sir David Hare, one of Britain's most celebrated and internationally performed playwrights.
Oh my God!
Basically, it is kind of a documentary that recollects the discussions and negotiations (some fictive, but scripted with great insight of what lies behind the mask of sanity) of the psychopathic mass-murderous that took over the most power full military, just prior to 911 and how they 'psycho' themselves up for world domination.
However, the whole thing is directed as a play on stage.
The single most encouraging expression of creativity, able to cut through the mass-media facilitated mass-programming, that is delivering a naked shocking but strangely enough at times hysterically funny truth, that I have seen in many years. Wow!
And a fantastic insight into the inner sanctum of the Pathocrats, where, when they are among themselves, the masks come off.
