Award Winning 'Betrayed' Southeastern Premiere
By: Beau Higgins Jun. 28, 2008
GableStage announces a change in the Final Production of 2007-08 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)
They 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.
