THE WAR TO END WAR
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE
2004


Sean Tarrant as J. Robert Oppenheimer with Justin Lujan as Edward Teller, Michael Dean Morgan as Johan Louis von Neumann, and Emily Ladd Rogee as Enrico Fermi, in the Annie Loui directed production of Charles L. Mee's The War to End War, UC Irvine, 2004.


"The enormous shattered Europe now tilts flat and becomes a floor for a poker game at Los Alamos. J. Robert Oppenheimer (a frank, likable Sean Tarrant) writes a letter to a fellow academic, announcing that he has revised the Ten Commandments. There are only eight of them now, including "do not add to the madness" and "do not destroy what you cannot create." Oppenheimer then sits down for a hand with Edward Teller, Enrico Fermi, and Johan Louis von Neumann."

"You may begin, for instance, with a thought of what you are doing and find, soon enough, that someone else has taken over the direction of your work and what you thought was fine and pure, extraordinary even, has become mundane or dreadful. Or not even that someone else has taken it over, but that some other aspect in your own character. As, for instance, fear. Or vanity. Lust for power. Etcetera."
