A searing triptych of three monologues all exposing the ugly truth behind the headlines of the current situation in Iraq. In America, a disgraced female soldier defends the chaotic events that took place in Abu Ghraib prison. In England, weapons inspector David Kelly confronts the human consequences of lies that spiralled out of control. And in Baghdad, a mother tells the story of a country that no longer exists. This gripping play strips away the modern myths of war to imagine three people who are all, in different ways, preparing to take their place in history
