Guantanamo by Victoria Brittain
A verbatim play based on the letters and interviews with Guantanamo Bay prisoners, this play is deeply shocking as well as deeply moving.
""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 "
