“I wrote it one night over a year ago during the buildup to the second Iraq war. I couldn’t sleep, I was so angry, so I wrote this scene…The Nation published the scene before the war started…some people got angry about it…Others took me up on the offer I made in The Nation and they did the play at anti-war rallies around the country…” -Tony Kushner
