Gore Vidal's satire on 1950s militarism and presumptive American superiority is pretty dated. It still has things to say that are worth attention, but it's hard to imagine a modern-day staging of this play that wouldn't require some serious reframing. The story of an ...alien from space named Kreton who seems to be less a cretin than the earthlings he visits, the play has little of the spectacular verve of language associated with its writer, one of the great wordsmiths of his time. As a play it's somewhat more serious than the film version, which was restructured as a Jerry Lewis vehicle. But not by much. After years of things like 3rd Rock from the Sun, it's hard to imagine a modern audience finding the wide-eyed gullible alien here much of a comedic revelation. I wonder what Vidal thinks of it now, fifty years after he wrote it. Not much, I bet. ( ) Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

An alien comes from another world for some sightseeing and lands in an average American community of 1957. Since he missed the Civil War he decides to make his own war, using the enchanting new playthings the 20th century has invented for war-making. Lacking emotions, he sees no reason why a few people shouldn't be happy to die for his amusement. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
