Notes:
The action takes place in a single setting: a congressional hearing room in the House of Representatives. The world premiere was designed as a touring play that fit into a single cargo van. The set consisted of three chairs, one table, a backdrop unit that held period images which rotated on a scroll, and two movable door shaped units on casters. There are five scenes spanning nearly two decades: Scene 1: 1938; Scene 2: 1947; Scenes 3 & 4: 1956; Scene 5: present day. The play runs 60 minutes.
Synopsis:
Seeing Red is a one act play composed primarily of actual House Un-American Activities Committee testimony. The play was conceived as an educational companion piece to Arthur Miller's The Crucible, although it stands on its own as well. It captures a pivotal time in our nation's history, beginning in 1938 with the testimony of Federal Theater Project director Hallie Flanagan, followed by Ronald Reagan's 1947 testimony, Paul Robeson's 1956 testimony, and concluding with Arthur Miller's testimony in 1956. In addition to serving as a tangible foundation for the events which led Miller to write The Crucible, the play also invites questions about our government's political policies in the war on terror.
