Rendition Monologues

If you're in Sydney or Melbourne, do go and see this show. Only one chance to do so!

Actors for Human Rights, the outreach network of London-based iceandfire theatre, is giving a voice to people who have suffered under the CIA’s ‘extraordinary rendition’ counter-terror method, the kidnapping and illegal transport of terrorism suspects for interrogation in countries with a reputation for torture. Rendition Monologues brings first-hand testimonies of victims of this practice to Australian audiences.

Former Guantánamo prisoner Bisher al-Rawi saw one of the first performances of Rendition Monologues. He said: “I am almost lost for words. The show was really very moving, scarily so. I was almost living through their experiences and mine as well."
