Description

Arthur Miller's Resurrection Blues is a darkly comic satirical allegory that explores what would happen if Christ were to appear in the world today. In this unidentified Latin American country, General Felix Barriaux has captured an elusive revolutionary leader who is rumoured to have performed miracles throughout the countryside. The General plans to crucify the mysterious man, and the exclusive television rights to the twenty-four-hour reality-TV event have been sold to an American network. This allegory asserts the interconnectedness of our actions and each person's culpability in world events, making for a comedic and tragic satire of precarious morals in our media-saturated age. A thought-provoking exploration of morality and responsibility, Resurrection Blues is a satirical allegory that challenges readers to consider the consequences of their own actions.
