...program explicitly states that “The Keening” is about political unrest in Colombia. Thus, going in, I expected an issue play—one which, though it would make good points and make me feel vaguely guilty for being American, wouldn’t succeed as a stand-alone drama. I was wrong. It is both less and more than that...
...Kawaller’s Sophie seems to succeed in her mission, it is largely because of the “father-daughter” dynamic, which is somewhat forcibly and awkwardly established in the script between Mahler and Sophie from the beginning of the play.

What may be more important is how much Democrats succeed in blasting Bush and the Republicans and convincing voters a new party should control Washington. Democrats have already started rolling out two phrases to reinforce that point: "We can do better" and "a culture of cronyism and corruption", which they accuse the G.O.P. of creating...
