U.S.: Detroit’s worthy of two plays spoofing its political misfortune
- This is priceless stuff. I wasn’t really planning to do a second one but the material was there.
- Playwright Marc Warzecha • On creating “Kwame a River 2: The Wrath of Conyers,” the sequel to his spoof of shamed former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. The first play was a huge hit, running for seven months when it was originally supposed to run for three. Regarding the subject matter mixed in with the downright atrocious state of the city, he says “I hope that it’s cathartic in a way, that all of us can come together for a while and just laugh at all this stuff.” • source
