News updates on the war in Afghanistan bombard us on a nearly daily basis. We know we’ve been there for years but how many of us know why we are there?
The Tricycle Theatre in London is putting on a play that dissects what is life in Afghanistan. It is an eyepiece into the lives and culture of afghans to better help us around the world understand exactly what is going on in this war.
The play is called The Great Game and presents itself in three different segments. The first segment is a history of Afghanistan, showing it’s first influences from the British.
The second segment is a more recent history including Soviet persuasion, the advent of U.S troops, and the Taliban.
Segment three is a more emotional look at personal lives of troops and Afghans which unravels the delicate issues of the country for us to comprehend.
The Great Game debuted for Londoners and special showings given to British and U.S troops serving in Afghanistan. The next stop for the show is Pentagon officials.
