WASHINGTON — Few people seeing “The Originalist,” a new play by John Strand having its premiere at Arena Stage here, are likely to have a fuzzy opinion about the character at its center, the Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. He’s arguably among the most polarizing jurists of his stature in American history, and inarguably the most combative justice currently on the court. For that matter, it’s unlikely that anyone will emerge from Mr. Strand’s play, which is essentially a series of debates dressed up in the robes of drama, with a radically changed view of Justice Scalia’s ideas about American jurisprudence as expressed through the often heated rhetoric in his writings and speeches.
Hail him as you go in as a champion of conservative values, hewing to a strict interpretation of the Constitution as a fixed document and not a fluid one to be interpreted in the light of cultural shifts (hence the term “originalist”), and you’ll hold him in the same high regard going out. View him as an enemy of civil rights and upholder of rigid, retrograde mores, and you’re not likely to come out singing the praises of his wisdom and intellectual rigor.
