Short-listed for the Amnesty International 'Protect the Humans' playwriting competition, 'Little America' is set in the Green Zone in Baghdad. Once home to Saddam Hussein's presidential complex, this heavily guarded compound now plays host to the international embassies and the new Iraqi government. With twenty-foot blast walls at the perimeter, the Green Zone provides a relative safe haven for those inside. Boasting karaoke bars and restaurants, running water and constant electricity, it strikes a bold contrast to the rest of Baghdad. The lives of a soldier, a journalist, an undertaker and a chef are thrown together the discovery of an obese corpse raises suspicions of foul play. After suicide attacks within the compound force it to be locked down, the inhabitants find themselves trapped in this miniature 'land of the free'.T0473155318Company Edible Theatre.
