Betrayed May 3, 2008

'Betrayed', George Packer's first play, based on his interviews in Iraq and other countries, tells the story of three young Iraqis -- two men and a woman -- who are motivated by hope to go work for the Americans, until they begin to wonder who, if anyone, can be trusted. 'Betrayed' explores the complex relationships among the Iraqis -- and between them -- and their American supervisor, against the backdrop of a war in which the hardest and most necessary thing turns out to be friendship.
