Resurrection Blues

Arthur Miller?s Resurrection Blues makes its world premiere at the Guthrie Theater. Long years of political and economic turmoil have ravaged an unnamed country, now under the control of a repressive military regime. A charismatic young revolutionary, lionized by his devoted followers and demonized by supporters of the totalitarian government, creates a national stir, further threatening the country?s stability. Once captured, the chief of state sells exclusive broadcast rights to the young man?s execution – by crucifixion – to an American television network.
