Ben, diyordu, insan değilim. Çünkü üşüyorum. Sizler üzerinizi hatıralarınız, aileleriniz, dostlarınız, mesleklerinizle örterken ben üşüyorum. Çünkü bunların hiçbirine sahip değilim. Ve olmak istemiyorum.

TIL a startling number of British theatre critics don't think Assassins is about White America.

Assassins: a play by white Americans about white Americans killing white Americans for white Americans in order to get what they feel white Americans are entitled to.

That Assassins. That one.

#theatre #i'm not saying that the show demands an all white cast #i think it could be cast and staged in a way that calls even greater attention to the whiteness of the american dream #and the resentment and gun culture and celebrity worship that motivated the assassins #actors of color playing white characters could make whiteness impossible to ignore #but that's not what chichester did #the assassins were audience plants who were assigned the role of a particular assassin and that was that #and i haven't seen a single review yet that mentions race #if you have please share #the radio silence about casting actors of color as fromme and zangara and czolgosz is destabilizing #i'm questioning if i exist in a separate reality #i know not everything is about white americans but c'mon #this feels like one thing

Is Mayor Cermak the Big Bopper of that day in the FDR life story?

You know, there are theories that Anton Cermak was the actual target of that assassination attempt in Miami in 1933. It's never been proven, but it's been suggested that Cermak, who was the Mayor of Chicago, was targeted by the Chicago Outfit -- the branch of the mafia that Al Capone ran before he was sent to prison.

It's much more likely that Giuseppe Zangara was really trying to kill Franklin D. Roosevelt (he said that Roosevelt was the target of his anger against capitalists) and he very nearly did that day. If a woman nearby hadn't grabbed his arm and deflected his aim, Zangara probably would have shot FDR, who was the President-elect at the time, and just 17 days away from being inaugurated in the midst of the Great Depression. FDR was very lucky that day. Cermak wasn't and died a few weeks later. And Zangara was tried and convicted in a lightning-fast trial where he pled guilty to Cermak's murder and attempted murder for the four other people wounded by his bullets and was promptly executed via Florida's electric chair less than three weeks after FDR was inaugurated. The entire process including the assassination attempt, FDR's inauguration, Cermak's death, Zangara's trial, conviction, and execution all happened in a matter of 33 days.
