The Two Worlds Of Charlie F. Talk at Beirut Art Center

As part of the Hay Festival 2013, the Beirut Art Center is hosting a talk between Owen Sheers and Jonathan Levi concerning Sheers’ play “The Two Worlds Of Charlie F.”

Owen Sheers’ play “The Two Worlds Of Charlie F.” was created from the experiences of recently wounded soldiers and their families. Many of the soldiers interviewed for the play’s research also perform in its cast, making the production a unique rehabilitation project as well as an unflinching but uplifting play about the aftermath of mental and physical wounding in conflict.

The play premièred at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London before touring the UK, winning the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award at the Edinburgh Festival. “The Theatre Of War”, a BBC documentary about the creation of the play, will be screened, followed by a conversation with Owen chaired by Jonathan Levi.
