Alex Burger Writing Featured in New Book
My play, Whose Blood, is featured in a new book Challenging History in the Museum: International Perspectives. The play is discussed, along with George Wolfe’s The Colored Museum (not bad company) in the Chapter “Making Them Laugh: Making Them Cry: Theatre’s Role in Challenging History. ” In the chapter, the lovely Judith Bryan credits the play with an elegance and depth that I can only hope are actually there.
Whose Blood featured in Wellcome History Publication
Whose Blood was recently featured in the Wellcome Trust History magazine. “What would you do for love? Alex Burger’s new play, which premiered in London in March 2011, explores this question (and much more) in the medically and socially charged atmosphere of Britain in the early 1830s.” Wellcome Trust: Whose Blood Review
