Imagine a play where conservatives invite a far-left wing activist to dinner, only to kill him or her afterward. Would such a play get rave reviews, or would it be shown as an instance of conservatives and Tea Partiers inciting violence? Most of us know the answer to that question.
But such a play is making the rounds in Madison, Wisconsin. Except the killers aren't crazed gun-toting Tea Party activists, they're liberal students, and the victims are conservatives.
The Last Supper, a production of the Mercury Players Theatre, is set to run through Feb 12 in Madison, and the performance has sparked considerable controversy.
According to a Jan 22 article at The Daily Page:
Five lefty graduate students in Iowa City gather for weekly dinners to revel in their shared (and sometimes smug) world view. The first dinner we witness ignites a surprising shared mission when one of the students invites the truck driver who offered him roadside assistance to join them. This young man, a patriotic Desert Storm vet, first startles the group when he insists on saying grace before the vegan meal and then goes on to praise Hitler, alarming and repulsing the other dinners. Threats and violence ensue, and one of the hosts stabs him.
As he lies bleeding on an area rug, the quintet, after some debate and initial hand-wringing, decide that they have done society a favor by eliminating him and silencing his dangerous words. They also decide that since participating in protests and sit-ins has been a futile way to fight the power, this new dinner party/murder method may be a more effective technique in coping with right-wing adversaries.

This just show’s how stupid liberals are. Conservatism is the antithesis of the National Socialists. Liberalism is National Socialism.
Other than that, wasn’t this already made into a movie?
If anyone is interested, I found the link to the human sacrifice story I once read:
“Hitler and the secret Satanic cult at the heart of Nazi Germany
At first glance, the large circular room in the basement of Wewelsburg Castle appears to be harmless enough. Smooth, finely cut stones pave the floor. Glistening rock walls arch majestically towards a high vaulted ceiling.
In the centre of the room lies a sunken circular altar with polished steps leading towards a burnt and cracked stone. From here you can see thirteen lanterns flickering on the curved walls. But it’s only when you look directly upwards that the room’s significance becomes shockingly clear. At the centre of the dome lies a giant swastika.”

‘“Vril occultists worked in complete secrecy doing anything that would promote Aryan power. This ranged from straightforward political assassinations, through to evoking the spirits of the dead, human sacrifice and summoning mysterious energies – or Vril - through sexual orgies.”’
“Seriously though, I’d like to address some misinformation that Mr. Beck has been spreading over the past few months: that is that nonviolence is the path to victory. Nonviolence is *only* the path to victory when your opposition is operating with a Judeo-Christian set of values (Ghandi vs England, MLK vs the USA). When society at large has rejected such values (Nazi Germany, China in Tianmen Square, Iran a few months ago, Egypt today) nonviolence is the path to the gallows while effecting no change at all.”
I’ve had the same concern with Beck and think you worded it perfectly for me. Thanks.
You have my movie mixed up with the other guys’ movie. Mine was made in 1948, you looked up the one made in 1995. I don’t think Hitchcock ever made a film that only grossed $448,000.
Playwrights don’t write a play and then throw in 1 or two plugs for their agenda. They write the play for the express purpose of pushing their agenda. The entertainment value is secondary, and doesn’t even have to be there, since the critics and the NYT judge plays on whether they lean left or right.
I like your ideas so much that I would pay double to see your play.
It is an incongruous caricature as well, since Hitler was a SOCIALIST!!
Not only are these Marxists hateful, they are astonishing ignorant of history as well!
“Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Hitler into the Occult? Many high ranking Nazis were, iirc.”
Not to mention that the S.A. (aka the brownshirts) were largely made up of rampant homosexuals. This was admitted even on the History Channel’s show on the rise of Hitler. After he didn’t need them anymore he had most of them arrested/executed at one of their big gay resorts.
“After he didn’t need [homosexuals] anymore he had most of them arrested/executed at one of their big gay resorts.”
Whoa—I didn’t know that. I heard rumors Hitler had homosexual encounters in his youth, however.
I was born and raised in Wisconsin...I now live in Indiana, my three sons graduated from Purdue, Notre Dame, and Indiana in that order. Wisconsin has turned into a liberal hellhole comparable to California.....The latest election may help change my mind on that, but I'll wait and see what happens.
