Local actor and set designer Duncan Thistlethwaite has gotten a role in the Baton Rouge Little Theater's upcoming production of The Vertical Hour. Written by David Hare, this new play is a thought-provoking exploration of how the political can sometimes intersect, collide with and ultimately dismantle the personal. In the play, Nadia and Phillip visit Phillip's father in the Welsh countryside, where the trio get into heated discussions about love, death, marriage, parenthood and the Iraq war. Brimming with cogent and fascinating arguments involving the current political situation, Hare fills his play with several of these ethical and philosophical quandaries that serve not only as dramatic conflict between the three main characters, but also metaphorically as the basis for several of the arguments politicians and intellectuals are having these days concerning the role that America and the West are playing in Iraq, the Middle East and beyond.
