Xray

The "sensation" of the 2004 Adelaide Fringe comes to Darwin.

29 year old Australian David Hicks has been held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for more than 1,270 days (to June 2005) without trial. For most of that time he was held without charge, without a lawyer, without contact with his family.

Xray represents a day in the life of a man claimed to be "one of the most dangerous men on earth." The play looks at the isolation, the frustration and the building relationship with the only person he has any human contact with - the guard stationed to watch his every move.

Written with the help of his Adelaide family and his Australian lawyer and told with a surprising amount of humour, Xray presents the audience with the reality of America's War on Terror.

"Powerfully factual and understated" Murray Bramwell, The Australian.
