“Good Guys With Guns” According To The US Media

Following the shooting of Brian Thompson - CEO of UnitedHealthcare - there has been a lot of media discourse and speculation about the shooter, the private healthcare system in America and guns. This story really speaks to the sickness at the heart of America, which United Healthcare definitely wouldn’t cover. Since gun coverage exceeds that of healthcare, for years pundits have been propagating the need for just a few good guys with guns to end the cycle of violence facilitated by the Second Amendment, that they unconditionally support. To fully understand the deep cultural specificity of this story,  we here at the Pepper&Salt Editorial Team have compiled a list to help our international readers navigate the complexities of American propaganda partisan media.

Written by Nadia Fortini and directed by Catrin Ody, this particular play is set over the course of an all-nighter, as interns Lola (Natasha Vincent), Penelope (Maya Moravec) and Chad (Anzi DeBennedetto) clean out the physical office space and position that they’re competing for. The  relationships between these characters are very quickly and deeply established, and over the course of the show, they constantly shift and develope, to the point where the subtext of interactions between characters pretty much screams at us. There are quite lengthy periods where we are lulled into a kind of rhythm by the repetitive tasks - it suits the show well in creating a kind of realism in terms of establishing setting and context within a limited space and time, but these moments perhaps go on for longer than necessary and quickly move from novel.
