Product Description
Product Description
Based around the lives of three distinct characters—a young soldier imprisoned for her misconduct at a prison camp in Iraq, a microbiologist-cum-weapons inspector who exposes the false justifications for war, and a mother/political opponent of Saddam Hussein—Palace of the End details the reality of the war in Iraq from three unique perspectives. With its emphasis on the human voice and power of the soul in the midst of a destructive war, each account is a riveting and brilliantly portrayed indictment of one of the contemporary world’s worst conflicts.

Palace of the End,
This review is from: Palace of the End (Paperback)
A wonderful play based on real participants in the moral debate surrounding the Iraq war. This play is inevitably anti-war, but adds a human element to those scapegoats who suffered in the media spotlight.
