Swamplands

SwamplandsT0616829328
In 2002, Joseph Wilson was asked by the CIA to investigate intelligence reports that the African country of Niger had been selling yellowcake uranium to Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Wilson discovered that no yellowcake had changed hands, and duly told this to the CIA and the Vice-President's office. Imagine Wilson's surprise, then, when the original yellowcake reports surfaced as the US and British governments' pretext for the invasion of Iraq... Employing an army of characters and a carousel of locations, Swamplands is an epic play about patriotism, terrorism and the abrogation of moral responsibility in the apparatus of the modern democratic state. Performance length: Approximately 2 hours.
Author Van Badham
