A new play about two soldiers, an American and an Iraqi, that find themselves locked in the same prison will be running until October 17th in Los Angeles. The play is written and directed by Marios Stilianakis, and the music is created by well known Greek singer Alexia Vasiliou.
Many of the stories that inspired WATER are drawn from the writer’s experiences during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.
The play is set in modern day Iraq, where two soldiers, an American and an Iraqi, find themselves in adjacent cells in a Baghdad prison. Alone and confused about how they got there, they explore their situation, share their stories, and learn about one another and what led them to this place in their lives. While their co-existence is far from simple, and while they find themselves relying on each other for survival, they begin to realize that they have a lot more in common than what their separate worlds have led them to believe.
WATER will run until October 17, 2010 at the Lounge Theatre in Los Angeles (6201 Santa Monica Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90038-17030) . For tickets and further information, please visit www.plays411.com/water OR call 323-960-7711. (Days & Times: Fri & Sat at 8:00 pm and Sun at 3:00 pm)
