Recently nominated for the Governor General’s Award, Judith Thompson’s arresting new play gives a face to three key figures whose lives were transformed by the Iraq War crisis: Lynndie England, the U.S. soldier convicted of abusing detainees at Abu Ghraib; Dr. David Kelly, the British weapons inspector who allegedly committed suicide after involvement in a government scandal, and Nehrjas Al Saffarh, a member of the Communist Party of Iraq who suffered under Saddam Hussein’s regime. Courageous, hard-hitting and utterly compelling, Palace of the End is winner of the prestigious 2008 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
