THE RETREATING WORLD
A young Iraqi pigeon collector entertains an audience at a bird convention in the wake of the First Gulf War. As he describes his love for birds and his connection to his best friend, he reveals both the cost of war and the comic art of survival. “The kind of short, stark and simple play that reminds us why we need theatre at a time like this, what the playwright can achieve that the journalist cannot.” -London Guardian
