Embedded, The Play
February 20, 2004
Last March, journalists were gearing up to accompany U.S. troops into battle in Iraq. Eleven months thence, actors are gearing up to portray those journalists, albeit with a more satiric edge. In his new play "Embedded" - which opens on Tuesday in New York - actor and playwright Tim Robbins riffs on the Bush administration, the war media, and the interplay between the two. Robbins talks to Brooke about his inspiration for the play, and about how much truth needs to be embedded in satire to make it work.
