...here was subservient to the show's political message. Outside of the monologues, every element of the production was representative of "the message." Twilight is produced in the round, and over each of the four sets of bleachers is suspended a drop representing one of the four ethnicities that clashed in the riots. The audience is divided by these pendants into neighborhoods; Black, Korean, Latino, White, "drawing the audience into the conflict," according to Chang.

As if Turkey's freeing of Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan weren't enough to inflame Turkish anger, on Monday the Italian prime minister told Turkey to make peace with the Kurdish separatists and accused it of "systematic violations of human rights."
