'Have you ever told yourself an unforgivable lie?'

A female American soldier facing a court-martial for torture and prisoner abuse, a British former UN weapons inspector exposed as a source for BBC journalist, and an Iraqi woman pursued by Saddam Hussein's secret police; each wrestle with the truth in Judith Thompson's urgent, hard-hitting and devastating new play.

The Royal Exchange has been at the centre of thetrical endeavour in the UK for more than 30 years.
