What Was Mine To Do

The Side Project
1439 W. Jarvis Ave Chicago

In the play, embedded reporter Frank Bernhardt and Staff Sergeant Antonio Cruz find themselves held captive in a Taliban prison cell in Afghanistan. Their only hope for release from the grasp of their zealous jailer lies in the hands of the crew of a Chicago TV news station, 7000 miles away. What Was Mine To Do examines the impact of media on modern warfare and how people a world apart can deeply affect each other's lives.

  What Was Mine To Do Review Round-Up

Chicago Reader - Not Recommended

"...Cutting back and forth between the cave and a sanctimonious Chicago newsroom, Doug Long's Strangeloop Theatre production is 30 or 40 minutes too long and practically begs to have its characters fleshed out. The least problematic of them is a mysterious Taliban with infinite patience, who teaches morality through vague aphorisms."

Centerstage - Somewhat Recommended

"... “What Was Mine To Do” by Dustin Spence is well-intentioned, well-researched and, well, kind of a mess. In an uneven premiere by Strangeloop Theatre Company, Spence’s many ideas about war, journalism, and honor never escape the lumpy, half-formed script that presents them. And it doesn’t help that the production’s hit-or-miss performances and limp direction only add the feeling that this show needs some more time in the developmental oven to become fully baked."
