Bringing Iraq Home

Synopsis:
What was originally called the Women and War project started in October 2005 because we weren't too aware of what was happening in Iraq, as well as what was happening to those who have close friends or family there. So, we sought out men and women from across the country who had untold stories, interviewed them, and have created a play based on those interviews. Our only motivation was to tell untold stories about Iraq; we have no political allegiance or agenda, though some of our interview subjects do.
