Description

Following a successful run in New York, Betrayed is a theatrical adaptation of journalist George Packer’s (author of The Assassin’s Gate: America in Iraq) eye-opening essay in New Yorker magazine. A Sunni and Shi’a Muslim build a rare bond as they face with humor, dignity, and outrage the daily dangers of working for the Americans in Iraq. Joined by a woman who refuses to submit to Islamic law, the men struggle to be heard by their allies while all three fight to realize their dreams and hopes for a new world.

Filled with drama and urgency, Betrayed is, according to Theatremania, “that rare theater experience that commands absolute attention while watching it, and which continues to haunt the viewer long after the play ends.”
