A review by taniabotes
8 by Dustin Lance Black

3.0

With George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Martin Sheen, Kevin Bacon and Jamie Lee Curtis as part of this all star cast, obviously the narration was brilliant. I can't believe that this all happened to recently, and that people can still be so closed-minded.

8 is an American play that portrays the closing arguments of Perry v. Schwarzenegger, a federal trial that led to the overturn of Proposition 8—an amendment eliminating rights of same-sex couples to marry in California. It was created by Dustin Lance Black in light of the court's denial of a motion to release a video recording of the trial and to give the public a true account of what transpired in the courtroom.
