Synopsis for MILITANT LANGUAGE
A play by Sean Christopher Lewis
In the current Iraqi state, a private rebuilding effort has gone underway. As things begin to be rebuilt, however, the village quickly unravels. For instance- a pair of American soldiers return one night from a routine surveillance detail covered in nothing but blood. The next morning it’s discovered that an Iraqi boy working at the site has gone missing. A liaison from the village comes searching for the boy singing the songs the missing boy’s mother has been wailing in the streets all night. Under heightened pressure two soldiers take it in their own hands to imprison this liaison, keeping him in their barracks and subjecting him to their own methods of intimidation.
In the end (as it has the entire play) sand falls, time moves on and everyone is brought to question who they are, what they stand for and where it all went wrong. It is a play that is an examination more than a diatribe, with humor and magic to help understand the inexplicability of our current reality.
