An exceptional audience experience" Jon Snow “an amazing text” Ariel Dorfman “I found Fallujah both immensely disturbing and moving, a piece of living history with the tragic shape of a Greek tragedy. Yet like one of those plays it was so clearly avoidable. But unlike them, it was no fiction, it was all too real. And the tragedy is all of ours to share. It is a warning that must be heard” Roger Graef “Not to be missed, immensely powerful" Alan Rickman “Intense and important work. Groundbreaking stuff” Joanna Lumley “Fantastic; really, really, impressive” Penny Woolcock
