THE MARTYRDOM OF SAINT ETHEL: Patron Saint of the Santee, Bloody Fourth, and Gitmo Bay
Be sure to check out Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and Martin Scorsese’s upcoming “Killers of the Flower Moon” for historical reference. Then buckle-up for a whacky retelling of the death-sentence hearing of Ethel Rosenberg – who was found guilty of giving U.S. atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union! Also, you may wish to brush up on Native American Sacred Clown “comic inversion” as well as celebrated verbatim theater works like “The Laramie Project” and Anna Deavere Smith’s groundbreaking productions. Our short film combines dark humor, physical comedy, and excerpts from the courtroom transcripts to satirize our imperfect legal system.
