Metroactive Stage 'Veracruz' As a playwright, Levin was attracted to the little-remembered 1914 seizure and occupation of Veracruz because London's writing from the front in support of capitalist interests—represented in the play by oil baron Bill Buckley (Tom Ammon)—showed a marked departure from his socialist leanings. Veracruz, a Pear Avenue Theatre production, plays Thursday-Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm through Oct. 10 at the Pear, 1220 Pear Ave., Mountain View. Levin weaves these and other news stories of the times, including a prisoner-abuse scandal (which Levin penned long before Abu Ghraib), to create a fascinating study of the personal and political interests that make up a war. www.metroactive.com /papers/metro/09.22.04/veracruz-0439.html   (443 words)
