Betrayed
George Packer's searing chronicle of America's involvement in Iraq. Based on the journalist-playwright’s original article in The New Yorker, "Betrayed" is the story of three young Iraqi translators who risk everything for America's promise of freedom while their country collapses around them. “The clarity of the writing, the urgency of the story being told … give the play a sharp dramatic impact and a plain-spoken beauty. Painful human experience is presented here as just that. Nothing else is necessary to awaken sympathy, despair and awareness of a grave moral failure on the part of the American government.” - New York Post. Starring Waleed F. Zuaiter, Sevan Greene, Jeremy Beck, Kevin Daniels, Andrea Gabriel, John Getz, and Sam Kanater. Directed by Pippin Parker.
