An insightful and emotional look into the embittered psyche of soldiers
in the aftermath of combat.
Master Corporal Tanya Young, Captain Stephen Hughes, Private Jonny
Henderson, and Sergeant Chris Anders have lived through an atrocity
while holding one of the most volatile regions in Afghanistan. As each
of them is interviewed by an unseen broadcasting organization, they
recount their version of events leading up to the horrific incident with
painful, relenting replies. What begins to form is a picture of the
effects of guilt and the psychological toll of violence in a war where
the enemy is sometimes indiscernible.
Hannah Moscovitch's writing for the stage includes Essay, The
Russian Play, East of Berlin, The Mill Part II: The Huron Bride, The
Children's Republic, Little One, and In This World (for young
audiences). Hannah's plays have been produced across the country,
including at the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto where she is currently
playwright-in-residence, the Factory Theatre, Alberta Theatre Projects,

Awards and she's been nominated for the Governor General's Literary
Award, the Carol Bolt Award, and the international Susan Smith Blackburn
Prize. Hannah is a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada and
