GableStage announces a change
in the Final Production of our 07-08 Season!
AUGUST 16 thru SEPTEMBER 14
GableStage
is proud to announce the Southeastern Premiere of BETRAYED by George Packer
(John Patrick Shanley's Defiance, which was scheduled for this time slot, will now be part of the 08-09 Season)
We are the first theatre to present the play -- Winner of the 2008 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play -- subsequent to its premiere run at the Culture Project in New York City, where it just closed this month
In early 2007, George Packer published an article in The New Yorker about Iraqi interpreters who jeopardized their lives on behalf of the Americans in Iraq, with little or no U.S. protection or security.
The article drew national attention to the humanitarian crisis and moral scandal.
Betrayed, based on Mr. Packer's interviews in Baghdad, tells the story of three young Iraqis - two men and one woman - motivated to risk everything by America's promise of freedom. The play explores the complex relationships among the Iraqis themselves, and with their American supervisor, struggling to find purpose while a country collapses around them.
New York Times Critic's Pick!
"An extraordinary achievement!" - The New Yorker
"More than merely a very fine play; it is a challenge to all Americans to become human beings. Every American should see it at least once; if involved in government, at least twice! It would melt a heart of stone; perhaps even a stone without a heart!" -John Simon, Bloomberg News
