Zayd Dohrn on a “Transparent” Society, and His New Play “Muckrakers”

“So ‘Muckrakers’ was written, and takes place, at a moment when our most basic assumptions about openness and privacy are being challenged. The characters in the play are, like the man in Montaigne’s glass house, exposed to the public eye. They can never assume, even within their own homes and intimate relationships, that they will remain unseen. And while they may not know they are onstage, by the end of the play, the characters are forced to confront the fact that they are living inside walls that have become suddenly, frighteningly, transparent.” — playwright Zayd Dohrn
