Two hapless strangers and soldiers, Private Simon and Private Garfunkel are sent out to the Afghan wasteland with heavy backpacks, sandwiches and binoculars. And they each have a whistle. The mission? To find Osama. The real reason? To get these blundering buffoons out of the way so they won’t bring down the US effort in Iraq. But in this environment of desert strikes and air strikes, Cupid takes aim. A new play by Ross Howard.

Irishmail42 said...: With American sensibilities and British humor, Ross Howard's "Who We Found Instead" is a delightfully funny, thought-provoking look at the moral dilemma of Afganistan, Iraq and the war on terror.; March 5, 2007 2:48 PM
Mintzworks said...: I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. It's sharply written, fairly acted, and the characters are easy to like.

The female actress is really good looking, which helps for this role, and the male actor is goofy in his expressions, which also helps.

These aren't yet the greatest actors in the world, but it's one of the better Rogue shows of this year, and that's saying enough!; March 8, 2007 12:22 AM
Walrus Gumbo said...: Although the acting was good there wasn't much of a plot. It seemed rather pointless, just like the Iraq War! Hmmm...maybe that was the point?; March 8, 2007 2:13 PM
S said...: Who We Found Instead, is a light comedy with a potentially tragic situation and an optimistic ending. I enjoyed the show.; March 11, 2007 8:04 PM
