Tony Kushner – Only We Who Guard the Mystery Shall Be Unhappy

Read and discussed by Rachel Maddow and Elizabeth Marvel, and others.

In this timely, provocative 2003 play, First Lady Laura Bush reads a passage from Dostoevsky to Iraqi children who were killed in American air strikes. Afterwards, the cast will discuss the morality of U.S. foreign policy and the extent to which we share responsibility for our leaders’ actions.

The fourth season of Public Forum begins at Joe’s Pub with the new Drama Club series, a book club for plays that will feature one-night-only readings and discussions of works by Kia Corthron, Tony Kushner, and Thornton Wilder. Authors, musicians, journalists, scholars, and actors will come together to give onstage readings of one-act plays that have some special resonance in our lives today. Each reading will conclude with a discussion of the hard questions that the play raises about our politics, our culture, and the way we live now.
