Betrayed

In early 2007, George Packer published an article in The New Yorker about Iraqi interpreters who jeopardized their lives on be half of the Americans in Iraq, with little or no U.S. protection or security. 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 Amerca’s promise of freedom. The play explores the complex relationships among Iraqis themselves, and with their American supervisor, struggling to find purpose while a country collapses around them. “An extraordinary achievement!” -The New Yorker
