THE STORY: A tour de force for two actors, GUARDIANS presents an unflinching look at the images of war. In a series of monologues, the play tells the stories of two scandals - the infamous snapshots from Abu Ghraib prison, which depict atrocities committed by American soldiers in the name of freedom; and the strikingly similar photos of English soldiers, published by a London tabloid but later revealed as fakes. In monologues that mingle fierce irony with human warmth, a disgraced American soldier tells her story - and a clever English journalist tells how he got his.
Winner of the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe First Award. "Compelling
sympathetic and powerful
closely observed." - NY Times. "Provocative
potent
nothing short of remarkable." - Village Voice. "Thrillingly, shatteringly effective
Morris' play sends you into a state of moral turbulence. As the Danish physicist Niels Bohr said about the theory of quantum physics, if you are not shocked by it, you have not understood it." - Sunday Times (London).
