Taking Theatre
Back
Are
The States Ready for Stuff Happens?
By
ALEXANDER BILLET
For the past few weeks London has been
host to a controversy of theatrical proportions. No, I'm not
talking about Prince Harry's dubious credentials in the world
of academia. Far from the pusillanimous prince's paparazzi pursued
boarding school, the National Theatre is running its production
of David Hare's latest play, Stuff Happens. The title
is taken from Donald Rumsfeld's racist comments in response to
looting after the invasion of Iraq, and the play itself is a
chronicle of the Bush administration's run-up to war.
The play has been part of a
small wave of anti-war drama to hit London. The past year has
seen the production of Justin Butcher's The Madness of George
Dubya, Pugilist Specialist (about US soldiers assassinating
an oddly familiar mustachioed Middle Eastern leader), and Tim
Robbins' Embedded, which lampoons the US media's one-sided
coverage of the war and occupation.
Stuff Happens is staged in an unorthodox fashion,
with most actors remaining on the round stage for the duration
of the three hour play. All the players are there; Bush, Cheney,
Condi, Powell, Rumsfeld, Tony Blair, Jack Straw; and so are the
lies. It gives a great behind-the-scenes look behind the fraudulent
case for an illegitimate war. With most dialogue taken from
actual documented meetings, it's created a frenzy in the British
media, and has prompted a response from the White House accusing
the play of being "not entirely accurate." Brave words
from an administration that was willing to weave a veritable
sweater factory of lies to justify the attack on sovereign nation.
Hare definitely makes no bones about his opinion of Bush and
the war. But instead of hitting us over the head with his beliefs,
he does one of the best things a playwright can do: he tells
us a story, gives us the cold facts, and lets us decide.
In so doing, he delivers an
air-tight case against the war. Hare's effective mixture of
actual accounts and creative license is almost irrefutable.
The only flaw in this play is, unfortunately, quite glaring.
After delivering an impressive case against Bush and against
war, Hare barely touches what it is that we can do to stop this
occupation. Also, with an exclusive focus on what was happening
behind closed doors, there is little or no talk of the opposition
to the war from ordinary people. Indeed, the "anti-war'
side is represented by Colin Powell, who was instrumental in
the cover-up of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam. And apart from
a passing mention of the February 15th protests, we hear nothing
of the massive potential that a strong anti-war movement would
have. This may not have been Hare's intention, and he's free
to write about what he wants. But a year and a half into this
occupation, with the global anti-war movement holding its breath
until the end of the elections in the US, to not bring this up
is irresponsible.
Almost none of London's theatre
columnists have addressed this. This isn't so curious, though,
when one considers the make-up of most play audiences. The sad
fact is that theatre is no longer a universal form of entertainment,
and as time as passed, it has become viewed as more of a privileged,
upper-middle class venue; a luxury. And Stuff Happens
is a perfect play for, as Guardian columnist Rod Liddle
puts it, "metropolitan, left-of-center, middle-class monkeys."
To this audience, Stuff Happens simply confirms their
belief in thinking Blair's a liar and Bush is a moron, and gives
them something interesting to talk about on their way back to
Chelsea. But as for the "dumb mugs" who "let
this war happen" (according to Liddle), "they're on
the other side of the river queuing up for We Will Rock You
(the new musical about the rock band Queen). The mugs were
probably against the war but aren't, in the end, that bothered
by it."
Is this true? Do ordinary
working class people care about the war? Would they care about
a play like this? With Stuff Happens hitting state-side
on October 24th (a staged reading is being given at Hartford
Stage in Connecticut), we must ask: are the American people-
"dumb mugs" or "middle-class monkeys"- ready
for a play like this? And if so, why do we not see theatre like
this in the US?
The answer to the first question
has to undoubtedly be "yes." Well over half of all
Americans think the invasion of Iraq was a bad idea, and a growing
number believe that the troops should be pulled out as soon as
possible. Liddle is right when he says that plays like this
are better suited for the "chattering class," but
he's outright wrong when he says that the "mugs"- the
working class men and women who are the ones being sent to die
in Iraq in the first place- don't care. I can't think of anyone
who cares more. When one looks at the amazing success that Farenheit
9/11, it's not a big stretch to see people lining up and
down Broadway to see this play, hoping to get some kind of idea
about what they can do to stop their friends and family from
dying needlessly.
Unfortunately, Broadway's corporate
backers wouldn't touch a script like this with a ten foot pole.
Next season, the biggest mainstream theatre scene in the country
is going with a truckload full of revivals; West Side Story,
Sweet Charity, La Cage Aux Folles and a host of
other theatrical staples are the choices for next year. They're
guaranteed to rake in a lot of cash. They're also safe, unassuming,
and completely without relevance to most people's lives. They
raise no questions, and push no envelopes.
It's clear that American theatre
has buckled under the pressure quicker than a rookie dancing
girl in a Fosse musical. But isn't the function of theatre,
and indeed, art, to question society when it takes a wrong turn?
Isn't this especially true when so many ordinary people are
already starting to question? Shouldn't art reflect the real
world, and in so doing, attempt to change it?
In the 1930s, that was the
case. Alongside the huge strike wave to unionize America's workplaces,
there was a theatre that was inspired by that struggle, and in
turn helped to inspire the struggle itself. Plays like Bertolt
Brecht's The Mother, Marc Blitzstein's Cradle Will
Rock, and Clifford Odets' Waiting For Lefty. These
were dramas that didn't just depict what was wrong with society,
but pointed a way forward for ordinary workers involved in struggle.
Many left having joined unions, the Communist Party or other
revolutionary socialist groups. "Art," Brecht said
during this period, "is not a mirror held up to reality,
but a hammer with which to shape it." The same "mugs"
that people like Liddle hold so little faith in were the vanguard
of a new society, and drama played a role in spurring on that
movement.
The same lesson can be learned
thirty years later. Stuff Happens would not even be produced
today if not for the Theatres Act, which abolished censorship
in British theatre. The year that act was passed? 1968. The
same year of the Tet Offensive that turned the tide of the Vietnam
War. The same year the Catholic minority in Ireland armed themselves
The same year as the Prague Spring and when workers took center
stage in Paris. When students demonstrated in Poland, Mexico
City, the United States, and Britain too. This struggle threatened
the order of life that was built on war, racism, inequality and
censorship. To say the Theatres Act had nothing to do with the
amazing power being wielded by oppressed people in Britain is
simply to rewrite history. In the States too, radical theatre
had become a staple for the left, with plays not just from Brecht
and other classics, but new plays by the likes of Myrna Lamb
and Amiri Baraka.
The point is that we can
have a vibrant theatre that actually is relevant to ordinary
people's lives. We can have plays like Stuff Happens
in the US. But the struggle to make theatre relevant only comes
when we make ourselves relevant. It comes when our anti-war
movement stops one more bomb from dropping on Fallujah. It comes
when we demand that the troops come home. When Blacks, Arabs
and Latinos are able to walk down their street without being
harassed by the cops. It comes when workers across the country
say to the bosses "you need us more than we need you."
Theatre, just like everything else in this world, belongs to
us, and if we want it out of the hands of the charlatans who
are trying to shove Miss Saigon down our throats, then
we need to take the whole package back.
Stuff Happens is a step toward that. I hope it
does make it to the States. And when the smoke clears, I hope
there's a movement big enough to trample this war and this system
to the ground.
