Guantanamo Summary

Guantanamo: Honor Bound to Defend Freedom' by Victoria Brittain

I don't know what crime I am supposed to have committed for which not only I but my wife and children should continually suffer. - British detainee Moazzam Begg This verbatim play, drawn from letters and interviews from Guantanamo Bay prisoners, their lawyers and relatives, weaves together personal stories, legal opinion and political debate. Guantanamo: Honor Bound to Defend Freedom looks at the questions surrounding the detentions in Guantanamo Bay, and asks how much damage is being done to Western democratic values during the 'war on terror'.

Guantanamo Reviews

It is the cool, calm objectivity of this documentary drama that makes it so powerful and shocking - The British theatre - indeed, every Briton - should be proud of this play. - Sunday Times shocking and often deeply moving - Daily Telegraph This is politically motivated theatre of a serious, noble sort. I left the theatre in a blaze of anger, shame and sadness. - Evening Standard
