Reaction to Land of the Dead

“The Land of the Dead” was way too soon and insensitive. This play tried to prove the point that not everyone who died on 9/11 was a hero. Sure the guy who went out to breakfast with his boss instead of going to support his girlfriend when she went to get an abortion isn’t a model human being, but still is an innocent soul who did not deserve to die. I’m from New York and have many personal ties to lives lost and families left behind on that day and I did not appreciate this dramatization one bit. No one is perfect especially the victims of the horrendous act who, under no circumstance, should not be made a mockery of by Neil LaBute’s advances to make a statement. The man is still a son and someone’s partner and doesn’t deserve this. This play hits way too close to home and I honestly do not care what this man needs to show to promote his agenda. The unfortunate people lost in this terrible event should be honored as they are people’s loved ones. My advice to LaBute is that something’s are just better left unsaid.
