WASHINGTON — All art is political, which is to say it comments on how we live, what we believe, what we fear, who we are as a culture and a nation.
For the new play “FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers,” the answer to that question is very much in the negative. The play first garnered attention last spring for its titillating subject: the frequently amorous, thoroughly anti-Trump text messages between FBI colleagues Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. Former “Superman” actor Dean Cain signed on to play Strzok, while the part of Page went to Kristy Swanson, who had once portrayed Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
To be sure, there is precedent for the work McAleer and McElhinny appear to have had in mind. Mark Hamill, for example, has read some of President Trump’s tweets in the character of Batman nemesis the Joker. And in “The Investigation,” Hollywood stars performed a dramatic reading of Robert Mueller’s report on Russian electoral interference.
Perhaps what the play needed was a little “alternative fact,” which in art is sometimes called imagination. What drove Strzok and Page into each other's arms? At what point did the personal crisscross the political? It is inauspiciously ironic that a play about two of the most infamous characters featured in Trumpworld’s “deep state” conspiracies does not have the courage to deviate even slightly from the written record.
The initial texts were revealed publicly shortly after that, accompanied by the sound of the proverbial excrement hitting the proverbial fan. Later, hundreds of pages of texts between Strzok and Page were released. Though neither was ever formally accused of wrongdoing, conservatives have continued to treat the duo as prime examples of a “deep state” conspiracy aligned against the Trump administration.
