Five cast members of the upcoming Ferguson stage play abruptly quit this week after reading the plays script, which recreates the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson using testimony taken from the grand jury proceedings in the case.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the cast members quit the production after learning the true circumstances surrounding Browns death. Playwright and producer Phelim McAleer told Breitbart News that the script is based strictly on grand jury testimony, with nothing added. No dialogue, no characters.
He claims that he wrote this to try to get to the truth of it, but everybodys truth is totally subjective, former cast member Veralyn Jones told the Times. When you come to the matter of what really happened, nobody really knows for sure, because everybody has a different take on it. It just didnt feel right to me.
A self-described very liberal, left-wing-leaning cast member, Philip Casnoff, told the Times that when he learned about McAleers conservative background, he thought, Whoa, this is not the place for me to be.
It felt like the purpose of the piece was to show, Of course he was not indicted heres why,' Casnoff added.
McAleer has repeatedly stated that his play is based on a genre of drama called verbatim theater, in which events depicted on stage are a recreation of exact witness testimony and interviews.

Nice er, freckles.
Interesting. She is Lithuanian. The left eye is a recessive trait. Just something I notice when I try not to look.
IOW, this racist "former cast member" doesn't like the facts, so he/she simply defactualizes them in order to live in the prescribed worldview.
I rather like Liz and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge seem like a very nice couple, but I pretty much agree with you about the rest of them.
Leftist bigotry and intolerance on display here.
Fake But Accurate.
Actors are, by definition, paid to lie to their audience.
The better they lie and make their audience believe the lie, the better they are said to be doing their job and are lavished with money, praise and awards.
Telling the truth is harder to do and cant be done by everyone.
bilge water
In other words, it's hard to accept the truth when the lies were exactly what you wanted to hear.
reminded me of this from mark steyn. Talking to them is like playing tennis with the net-down, where they say your ace is a social construct

These people are truly certifiable.
Proof that if you want to anger a conservative tell them a lie, if you want to anger a liberal tell them the truth.
Truth, or the collectivist narrative. Choose one.
Speaker 1. I am what I am.
Speaker 2. No, you fool. You are what we perceive you to be.
“when he learned about McAleers conservative background, he thought, Whoa, this is not the place for me to be. “
Not if he wants continued employment in today’s “entertainment” Industry, it isn’t...
Being involved in telling THE TRUTH about Ferguson is likely a sure way to get to the top of Hollywood’s Blacklist.
The truth s so...er, uncomfortable to these progress leftists.
Actually, the word intolerable is better.
They simply cannot tolerate the truth. Causes their whole leftist, PC, made up world of emotion and innuendo to come unhinged.
Progressive leftists truly have a mental disorder.
However, I'm sure Ol' Phil' snuggled in the warmth of his Socialist political fantasies.
