"Stuff happens" was U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's
cavalier response to questions about rioting and looting following the
invasion of Iraq. David Hare takes it as the title of his thoughtful
and provocative play that lays out the actions and statements of the
major players in the assault on Saddam Hussein's dictatorship. It is
a powerful piece of political theater that reverberates with every day's
changing headlines.
Hare depicts all the principal political figures involved in the events
that led to the attack of shock and awe on Baghdad on March 19, 2003.
