Lidless

LIDLESS

Lidless is an extraordinary and original attempt to show the enduring strain on the victims of the U.S.'s deployment of torture at Guantanamo.

David Hare

Every day I drive past strip malls and think about the kids we went to school with who died so we could shop and watch TV. Why was I so desperate to become a citizen of this?

Fifteen years ago, Alice was an interrogator in Guantanamo Bay. The pills she took at the time mean she can’t remember what she did.

Fifteen years ago, Bashir was a prisoner there. Dying of liver failure, he can’t forget what she did.

One day, he visits her.

Lidless, Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig's devastating first play, won the Yale Drama Series Award for Playwriting in 2009. A work of extraordinary intelligence and finely-balanced sensibility, it marries the implacable logic of a Greek tragedy with an all-too-modern setting.
