Execution of Justice

Santa Clara University Drama Department

November 7-November 15, 2008

Add Review/Comment

Drawn from trial transcripts and documentary evidence, Execution of Justice deftly recounts the 1978 assassination of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, America's first openly gay elected official. This compelling “theater of testimony” examines the motives of Dan White, the conflicting social and political ideals of the era, and the controversial courtroom ethics (such as the infamous “Twinkie defense”) that lead to one of history’s most shocking verdicts.

    The whole aura of 1968 was just perfect. Loved the costumes, dancing, and singing. I only wish I had seen it earlier, so I could find time to go back again.

    I went to see this fascinating play on Saturday, March 4nd, and found myself drawn into the performance. All the actors, especially the young man playing Moritz, did a wonderful job portraying life in a resticted society. It was gut-wrenching at times and at others, bitterly cruel. The coldness with which Moritz's death was handled by his peers was especially poignant. My feelings for the character Melchior were quite conflicted. A wonderful evening that made me ponder things long after the play was over. Collapse
