PALACE OF THE END 

                  by Judith Thompson  

                  presented by Touchstone Theatre in association with Felix Culpa and Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

                  

                    Dates 

                    May 21 – June 6 2009 Performing Arts Lodge (PAL) Theatre, 581 Cardero Street

                    

                    Three scalding monologues make up Judith Thompson’s Palace of the End:
a shockingly funny portrayal of the soldier who took the fall for the
Abu Ghraib prison scandal; the dying reflections of the weapons
inspector who blew the whistle on government justifications for the
invasion of Iraq; a tea party with a mother and political leader who
suffered unfathomable loss at the hands of Saddam Hussein. Whatever
your views on the war, this play will unsettle you with its startling
beauty.

                    

“Palace of the End raises the bar . . . searing . . . elegiac, beautifully specific.”  LA Times
