| Throughout the show, an image of each assassin's target is shown on a screen upstage. At the end of the show, two ensemble members walk to the front of the stage, look up at the screen, and there is an image from Jan 6 there. The target may not be an individual person, but the entire concept of Government, but the implication is that this was the next in the same thread of actions. It may be a little ham-fisted (one wonders how this production was originally meant to end, if it had run in a non-Covid 2020 as intended) but the motivations mentioned by the assassins definitely fit for the terrorists of Jan 6 ("Where's my prize, they promised me a prize" etc). |
