WNET will broadcast a special live-to-tape presentation of the Culture Project's world premiere of George Packer's award-winning play Betrayed at 9pm on Thursday, October 23. Packer will introduce and host the broadcast, which will also be shown on WLIW on Sunday, October 26 at 10pm. Julie Cohen is producer and director of the event.

The play, which is based on Packer's interviews in Iraq and other countries, tells the story of three young Iraqis who are motivated by hope to go work for the Americans, until they begin to wonder who, if anyone, can be trusted.

Packer is a staff writer for The New Yorker and the author of The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq, The Village of Waiting Blood of the Liberals, The Half Man, and Central Square (1998).
