So shows "need to be debated" against a yardstick of current socio-political reality when it comes to Israel but not for other topics?
No, shows like THE BAND'S VISIT do need to be seen in a context of socio-political reality because it relates to what we are going through directly at the moment in this country and elsewhere. Which is exactly what many posters on ATC have been doing in responding to the #MeToo movement and the way it has reshaped things in theater or in musicals as previously untouchable as MY FAIR LADY like The Daily Beast's review ‘My Fair Lady’ Finally Gets Its #MeToo Ending, as well as many others. Or Jesse Green's exhaustive, exhausting comparison of THE BOYS IN THE BAND against a yardstick of current and historical socio-political reality. And though it took a bit longer for any kind of substantive critique of HAMILTON to appear, it did eventually by Leira Monteiro and others.
Israel could be the Kingdom of Ruritania, a misty, barely perceivable land, when it came to the nyc press and its reflections on THE BAND'S VISIT. |
