Taking its name from a oft-repeated quote from Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld—who was speaking about the looting of Baghdad after the American invasion—the play uses a unique blend of documented dialogue and quotes mixed with Hare’s pointed imagination to create a fictional reality that probes the decision making that leads to war. At left, playwright Hare and wife Nicole Farhi, as well as Carolyn McCormick and actor Byron Jennings, are seen after the performance. Below, cast members Peter Francis James, Gloria Reuben and Jay O. Sanders are seen at the opening night party for Stuff Happens at the Union Square Ballroom in New York City.
