Saw the excellent production of Ajax in Iraq last night, produced by Flux Ensemble and directed by Gus Schulenberg. Beautifully directed, a diverse cast overflowing with talent and personality, and a smart, well-composed script by Ellen McLaughlin (read all about her here). As I watched, I kept feeling troubled that this play and subject are still relevant.
Two performances left. A must-see, as they say.
Oh and don't just take my word for it. The Times agrees.
