February 26, 2006 - Young Advocates Guantanamo Play

The Young Advocates of the ACLU is hosting a special presentation of the play Guantanamo: Honor Bound to Defend Freedom on Sunday, February 26th. The show, which already has sold out some performances, takes place at the Timeline Theatre, 615 West Wellington Avenue in Chicago. A panel discussion will follow the play. For tickets, please contact aremtulla@stanfordalumni.org. You can read more about the play at http://www.timelinetheatre.com/tickets/index.htm and you can read more about the discussion following the play at http://www.timelinetheatre.com/guantanamo/sunday_scholars.htm.

Originally produced to great acclaim in London in 2004 and a subsequent hit Off-Broadway, Guantanamo is based on interviews with detainees who were released from Guantanamo Bay in February 2004. This stirring docudrama weaves together personal stories, legal opinion and political debate, looking at questions surrounding the detentions of suspected "enemy combatants" while examining the potential damage being done to Western democratic values during the war on terror.
