DeMediacratic Nation: Mr. Abemadinejad Speaks; a one man play; with chorus

What critics are saying about “Speaks”

“Ahmadinejad scored many points in his speech at Columbia on Monday”

"the victim of an ambush"

From “Mr. Abe Madinejad Speaks,” a one man play; with chorus:

(narrator) Ostinato Polytonality Editorial:

“(W)e are dismayed by the behavior of some of New York’s democratically elected representatives who denounced and threatened Columbia University for inviting the Iranian leader to speak there yesterday.

(slowly begin raise lights)

(continue, gains timbre): “We can imagine no better way to give hope to opponents of Iran’s repressive state than by showcasing America’s democracy and commitment to free speech. And we can imagine no better way to lay bare the bankruptcy of Mr. Ahmadinejad’s views than to have him speak, and be questioned, at a university forum.”

Recapitulation

CUE: etude legato evening meadow melody

CUE – fog machine – talent on riser

(raise lights Max. upstage center, rear talent)

(narrator) Scene is set: “Distortion of Politics:”

“The Iranian president is routinely demonized in the United States for allegedly “denying the Holocaust” and calling for the “destruction of Israel.” Ahmadinejad has also been criticized for oppressing Iranian citizens, persecuting women and dissidents including members of the Bahai’ faith and homosexuals.

President Bush has used Ahmadinejad and Iran as a distraction to redirect American anger from the lies he used to justify invading Iraq and the increasing American casualties.”

Cue talent – stage center – lights on, nobody home:

“We are against nuclear weapons. We do not accept it and even believe that the big powers should be disarmed of nuclear weapons.”

“The differences between Shia and Sunni Muslims have been created by enemies.”

“Iran and the United States could be good friends”

Recapitulation

“Unfortunately we are witnessing the bitter truth that some powers do not value any nation or human beings, and the only things that matter to them are themselves”

INTERMISSION – those that think only of themselves?

“Germany's richest state agreed Tuesday to build the country's first commercial high-speed magnetic levitation train line, but officials warned the price tag could be heftier than first thought.”

ACT II

-talent raises arms, CUE lights on lone tear:

"Unfortunately human rights are being extensively violated by certain powers, especially by those who pretend to be their exclusive advocates"

"In the present tumultuous world and predominance of loud outcries, threats and tensions, and in the time when the big powers are unable to solve the present problems, when mistrust in regional and international arenas is on the rise, when psychological security of societies is being targeted by an onslaught of political and propaganda designs, and disappointment prevails over efficacy of policies and actions of the international organizations in establishing of durable peace and security, and the protection of human rights is being weakened."
