AFTERMATH

Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen

March 20, 2003. A date that the ordinary people of Iraq will never forget. A day that changed their lives forever. The day the Americans arrived in their country. New York Theatre Workshop's award-winning actor/directors Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, from Tim Robbins' Actors Gang, visited Jordan to discover first hand what happened to Iraqi civilians as a result of the events that began on that fateful day. They interviewed some 35 people - a cross-section of lives interrupted - who fled the chaos and violence that befell Iraqi society for the relative safety of Jordan. Aftermath is the harsh and mind-blowing drama that tells these people's stories first hand. An unforgettable theatrical event, staged in the dramatic and evocative setting of the Old Vic Tunnels.

Until Saturday 17 July | 19:45
The Old Vic Tunnels, The Cut, London SE1 8NB
