Some Previous Productions

World Premiere, the Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane.

The siege of Fallujah in April 2004 was one of the most extensive human rights violations of recent times. Breaching over 70 articles of the Geneva conventions, US forces bombed schools and hospitals, sniped civilians (including children) holding white flags, cut off water and medical supplies, and deployed both napalm and white phosphorous, banned by the UN. At the time, journalists from all nations were actively prevented from entering the city, and even now the full truth of these events has never been made public.

Written and directed by Dr Jonathan Holmes, Fallujah draws on research and interviews carried out by the playwright and triple Nobel Prize nominee Dr Scilla Elworthy. This play presents testimony from those at the heart of the siege: Iraqi civilians, clerics, US military and politicians, journalists, medics and aid workers and the British Army. None of this testimony has been heard before. Every word of this play is verbatim from the testimony.
