Ensemble should be
commended for attempting such a monumental work as Rajiv Joseph’s BENGAL TIGER
AT THE BAGHDAD ZOO. The play is
not for everyone. It is filled
with depressing thoughts, which hit probably too close to home for many
Americans, who, almost non-stop from the 1960s, have been participants in
conflict after conflict, and misguided war after misguided war.

So, exactly how does one whack off with a prosthetic hand? This is certainly not one of the more profound questions raised by this complex and compelling play by Cleveland Heights High grad Rajiv Joseph. But it does represent the absurd situations that abound, amidst all the blood and tragedy, in this theatrical expedition into humanity’s dark heart.
