WHAT'S HOT! Urgently seeking support for VOICES FROM GUANTÁNAMO
A unique opportunity to hear directly from the Guantánamo detainees. Some of these men composed poetry “inside the wire” with little expectation of it ever reaching an audience. We are bringing these voices to the New York stage, but we need your help! >Learn more
Returning in fall 2009
Voices From Guantánamo:
The detainees speak.
A look at Guantanamo Detention Center based on poems
written by some of the detainees and rescued by volunteer lawyers. Written with
little expectation of ever reaching an audience, the poems reveal a human
dimension to what is happening at America's notorious prison camp. Adapted by
Duane Mazey from the anthology Poems From Guantanamo. Directed by
Carlo D'Amore with music by Dave Hall.
