This is Not America play debuts at Edinburgh Fringe
The play ‘This is Not America’, written and directed by Philip Stokes, is being performed at the Pleasance Courtyard as part of the Edinburgh Fringe. The production features a solo performance by Jack Stokes, who portrays three identical brothers: Rocco, Salvatore, and Cassius.
The narrative centers on the brothers being interrogated regarding a suspicious death or attempted murder. Each character represents a different facet of a toxic American dream, ranging from an egotistic actor to a violent criminal and a nervous individual with aggressive attitudes toward women. As the play progresses and a fourth brother, Paulie, is introduced, the story explores the unsettling reality behind the brothers' identities and the circumstances of the crime.
