Cradle of civilization, but dealt a raw deal geographically.Poor harbors; rivers marked by waterfalls. Rivers don't connect; hence the people don't connect. Many languages; no dominant culture. Most countries are artificial Western constructions. Conflicts ahead over water: Ethiopia and Egypt. Chinese mining and building--strong influence with no concern over human rights or political corruption.
PBS performance during pandemic. No live audience, filmed in a warehouse. Entire play was good, but the standout was Jessie Buckley as Juliet. Great performance.
