But what comes before that makes for the best recent English language play I know by anybody who isnt Caryl Churchill.0 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Why the Hereros?By Dr. Kenneth A. WolkonI was hoping for more of a description of the horrible treatment of the Hereros; an earlier attempt at genocide. Instead; this kept promising more to come but it never came. It may have been good theater; but it is not sufficiently informative for me.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The more you look into it the more you realize exactly how brilliant it is -- it uses an improv companys attempt ...By catcamusWe produced the play in Seattle; so I lived with this script quite intimately. The more you look into it the more you realize exactly how brilliant it is -- it uses an improv companys attempt to tell the story of a tragic genocide from 100 years ago to illustrate exactly how many of us today; of all racial backgrounds; are stuck looking at racial issues; both past and present; through the lens of our own racial perspective; and just how difficult it is for us to step outside of those views; no matter how well intentioned. As well; it draws strong parallels between the racial history of Sudvestafrika and that of the US with which we are more familiar and which permeates our individual viewpoints. Finally; it illustrates how easily we as human beings can fall into behaviors that we so easily condemn in others.Parts of the play that might on first reading seem disconnected from the main narrative are in fact; not. They are all used to emphasize important themes that recur throughout the play. So many layers to uncover in this work. It is brilliant. And it started numerous conversations here. I only wish we could have produced this in a larger space so that more people could have seen it.
