What if Jesus were to return? Would this event be exploited and manipulated by our corporate culture of greed and profit for monetary gain? This is the central question of Arthur Miller’s penultimate dark comedy, Resurrection Blues.
Miller’s play provides a meditation on advertising, media manipulation, spin, the outright lies told to the public and suggests how this dynamic affects American society. “Resurrection Blues,” cites the fiction created around the Gulf of Tonkin incident which precipitated the escalation of the Vietnam War but of course evokes our recent adventures in Afghanistan and Iraq proving again that history repeats itself. In the world of this play, illusion is the order of the day and reality is sacrificed on the altar of greed. What happens to humans when they live in a world of false images? Miller asks us to give some thought to the kind of society we ultimately want to have.
