Through the eyes of 12 leading British and American playwrights and the
voices of those actively involved in the war and on U.S. & NATO
policy in Afghanistan, The Tricycle Theatre Company’s THE GREAT GAME:
AFGHANISTAN explores, in three separate thrilling and provocative
evenings, the culture and history of Afghanistan since Western
involvement in 1842 to the present day.
All three parts can be seen
separately and do not need to be experienced in chronological order.
This ambitious political and theatrical event was nominated for an
Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement and was proclaimed “an
inspirational highlight of the year!” by The Independent.
