Tony Kushner's Only We Who Guard The Mystery Shall Be Unhappy

For those of you interested in reading Kushner's Laura Bush scene that was the basis of the benefit last night with John Cameron Mitchell and Patricia Clarkson (and has received several readings around town in the last year including one with Marcia Gay Harden), here's the text. It was a cover story in the Nation last year -- I have the issue, but just discovered that it's still online in their archives:

So how was the reading, Namo? :)

I also saw the Harden performance and thought she was wonderful (despite being 8 months pregnant). Her Texas accent was absolutely dead on.
