What readers are saying

Readers express frustration with character representation in the play. There is a desire for more nuanced portrayals of Palestinian and Arab characters rather than one-dimensional roles centered on conflict.

Lack of nuanced character portrayal.

Synopsis

In 1990, during Operation Desert Storm, a troubled Canadian soldier and a teenage Palestinian black-marketeer meet in the Qatari desert and become unlikely and secret friends.

But the tenuous friendship is severed after a horrifying act inside the Canadian base.

This play rips the mask off recent western “peacekeeping” operations and challenges Canada’s long-treasured myths.

Cast of 3 to 5 men.
