Project Unspeakable
A dramatic presentation of the meaning and circumstances of the assassinations of JFK, Malcolm X, MLK, and RFK
Leverett Elementary School
7:00 PM, Nov. 22nd, 2013
Do you have plans for remembering the 50th anniversary of the assassination of JFK? With the passage of years, dwindling numbers of people are left to talk about where they were and what they were doing when they heard that Kennedy was shot. Those old enough to remember the Sixties recall the optimism, that we were the generation to bring change, to establish a just and peaceful society. Much hope died with the deaths of our leaders. Each assassination was covered up, and only over the intervening half century has the truth been revealed about how and why they died, and those stories are still not well known.
Project Unspeakable is a play written by Court Dorsey and associates that tells the whys and wherefores of these assassinations, using the documented words of the real historical persons who were involved in these events. The authors and producers plan hundreds of performances around the country in the tradition of the Vagina Monologues and the Laramie Project, one of whose writers, Steve Wangh, helped Court envision and write this play. The nationwide launch will take place on Nov. 22, the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy. The first performance in the Valley will be here in Leverett. It will be presented as a semi-staged reading by our neighbors in Leverett, Amherst and surrounding towns. The reading will be followed by an opportunity for discussion.
