It's a Blog! It's a Play! It's: BLOGUDRAMA!!

This is ... well, a weird conjoining of two of my favorite things: blogs and drama. From the NY Times:

Baghdad Burning: Girl Blog From Iraq" is not a very good play, but it's worth your attention for two reasons. It's the only political drama in New York written from the point of view of an Iraqi who lived through the American invasion, and, for better or worse, it inaugurates an entirely new (and seemingly inevitable) theatrical genre - the blog play.

Melding two chic cultural forms, the documentary drama and the blog, the Six Figures Theater Company has turned the online writings of Riverbend, the pseudonym of a 25-year-old Baghdad woman who has become something of an Internet celebrity, into a dramatically awkward series of readings.

I can see where it would be difficult to turn even the most riveting of blogs (and Riverbend's writing is certainly that!) into a play - the forms are just too different. But still - kudos to Riverbend for getting her stuff out there, and hey! That's just one more form of media to be infiltrated by the blogitat. Next up: Blogging! The Musical!!
