Interview/Entrevista by Gil Kofman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

An emigration interview grows darkly menacing as it turns into an interrogation by government bureaucrats. \"Throughout history words have been man's most eloquent and efficient tool of progress. Words have transported the knowledge that has set men free; they have framed concepts of liberty and propelled righteous revolutions. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but, like a blade, it cuts both ways. Tyrants, too, have used words to perfume their evil intentions. Recall Adolph Hitler's fiery speeches that held Germany enraptured and led the world toward horror and destruction. In a dramatic demonstration of this power, INTERVIEW/ENTREVISTA illuminates oppression with the same weapons used by the play's government-sanctioned thugs - words. 'They use language as a form of torture, ' says Jonathan Moscone, who directs the play for the Dallas Theater Center's Big D Festival of the Unexpected, 'There's no physical violence, no guns in this play, but ultimately there's a real brutality. Playwright Gil Kofman uses the language itself to create a visceral experience. The action of the play moves as quickly and intricately as the mind does.'\" -Joy Dickinson, Dallas Morning News \"Gil Kofman's INTERVIEW/ENTREVISTA examines a grueling and mischievous interrogation of a Latina, who's seeking her emigre brother, by two bureaucrats from some unnamed government agency.\" -Steven Mikulan, L A Weekly | Interview/Entrevista by Gil Kofman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
