The Insurgents kindle unlimited
Given our badly off putting heroine what we ultimately end up with here is a thoughtful play built on an interesting absolutely relevant contemporary premise It s populated with fascinating characters too But it fails in its apparent aim by irritating its audience rather than enlightening them with powerful ideas The Insurgents
Sally has been cut loose from her college athletic scholarship due to a career ending sports injury With she and the family broke and mostly out of work looks like that college education is not going to happen Which gets Sally to thinking And brooding And worse carrying a rifle around wherever she goes which is getting her family a little nervous Worst of all when she s all alone she s visited by four very different revolutionary spirits from the past John Brown Mr Ottavino Harriet Tubman Stacy Sargeant Nat Turner Daniel Morgan Shelley and believe it or not Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh Mr Donaldson All four tell their stories of resistance to an unjust government and not too obliquely urge her to use that firearm of hers as they once did to fight for The Cause The Insurgents.
