As We Speak
A Full-length Drama by John Patrick Bray
4F / 6M
Playing Time: Approximately 105 minutes
In a post-9/11, post-Katrina United States, full of the politics of fear and doctrines of intolerance and hate, what are we willing to sacrifice for our own sense of security? What liberties are we willing to give up so we can go to bed at night? John Patrick Bray addresses these alarming issues in As We Speak. Noreen, a PhD student and blogger finds her own liberties stripped from her and many others after the election of a fascist president. As a divided society takes sides in support or fear of increasingly restrictive rights and the abuse of power by those enforcing the new rules, friends are pitted against friends. In this new era, where it becomes difficult to distinguish who has become the true enemy, Bray challenges his audience to think before we act so that we truly comprehend the ultimate dangers inherent in a world that places order and control over human rights and freedom.
