Palace of the end / Judith Thompson.

1st ed.

i, 46 p. : port. ; 22 cm.

Palace of the end, based on Judith Thompson's monologue play My pyramids.

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.

Produced by 49th Parallel Theatre in association with Open At The Top.
