Story
The images of war. Snapshots from Abu Ghraib that depict atrocities committed in the name of freedom. Tabloid images of English soldiers abusing an Iraqi prisoner that are later revealed as fakes. And somewhere between England and America, between savagery and spin, lies the truth. A new play dares to imagine the truth behind the images that shocked the world.
In monologues that mingle fierce irony with human warmth, heartbreaking emotion with breathtaking intelligence, Guardians offers storytelling at its simplest and most complex. A disgraced American soldier tells her story. And a clever English journalist tells how he got his.
