PLEASE REMEMBER. Art and Politics do not mix.
Plays, films, and novels which deal with the unassailable investigate nothing and express nothing save the desire to investigate nothing. It is incontrovertible that deaf people are people, too; that homosexuals are people, too; that it is unfortunate to be deprived of a full happy life by illness or accident; that it is sobering to grow old.
These events, illness, homosexuality, accident, aging, birth defects, equally befall the Good and the Bad individual. They are not the result of conscious choice and so do not bear on the character of the individual. They are not the fit subject of drama, as they do not deal with the human capacity for choice.
-David Mamet
