What About Palestine ?

Instead of Boiled Cabbage stuff from Tony Moore, which makes a mockery of the tragedy of war, (and completely avoids the Big Money War II Criminals) why can't we have something serious like ScapeGoat ? Certainly Goldywood 'er Hollywood will give Palestine a miss in the realm of Big Money Box Office Bashers. I KNOW ! How about a work entitled Indiana Muhammad and the Mines that Do NOT Belong to King Gold Solomon Yeah ! That has a nice ring to it... OUT OF IRAQ ! OUT OF AFGHANISTAN ! OUT OF PALESTINE ! YES

Is this a review of Boiled Cabbage? Am I missing something? Looks more like a rant. www.meltheco.org.au

We haven't opened yet so it can't be a review. Actually the play doesn't make light of the tragedy of war it attempts to point out how the war changed peoples lives. It's certainly done in a comedic style but ... Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au

Which particular war, Tony? From the title, I might guess the Second Great Unpleasantness. I have a particular interest in the period, for all sorts of reasons - a lot of them to do with the so-called 'human condition'. Alas, I'm in Perth and currently involved in Johnny Grim's own observation of war and its effects on the lives of ordinary people (Bannockburn: The (almost) True Story). I'd love to at least read the script. It's been a while since we last 'spoke', so I hope you're keeping well. All the best for your forthcoming season. Tim.

It is indeed the second great unpleasantness. Of course you may read the script. I think I sent a copy to the ITA library in a small flurry of enthusiasm just before Xmas, if I didn't let me know by PM and I will send you an electronic copy. Hey I'll send you an electronic copy anyway if you want. I've been well, more or less and am as usual doing too much for the Adelaide Fringe. Hope your health is improving and that you're not overdoing it. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au

The moral outrage is palpable.
