You’ve read the original article “Betrayed,” you’ve listened to the New Yorker podcast, you’ve kept up with the blog, you’ve read my awkwardly titled, very positive review of the play, now it’s time to listen to the author’s sure-to-be-thoughtful presentation—and finally, see the play itself.

Saturday, April 5, at 1pm, see George Packer talk about reporting in Iraq, his book The Assassins’ Gate, and the difficult process of creating a play, Betrayed, from real experiences, at McNally Robinson, at 52 Prince Street. Then catch the 3pm matinee of the play, only a short walk away—I’m told discount tickets are still available.

This event sounds so terrific, I wish I weren’t six time zones away.
