The play:  Originally produced to great acclaim in London in 2004 and a subsequent hit Off-Broadway, Guantanamo is based on interviews with detainees who were released from Guantanamo Bay in February 2004. This stirring docu-drama weaves together personal stories, legal opinion and political debate, looking at questions surrounding the detentions of suspected "enemy combatants" while examining potential damage being done to Western democratic values during the war on terror. Guantanamo was commissioned, from an idea by Nicolas Kent, by the Tricycle Theatre in London in January 2004. Five British detainees were interviewed in early 2004, shortly after being released.

The Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill Of Rights (CCDBR) has fought for 42 years against government encroachment on our constitutional rights in all its forms. CCDBR began as part of the struggle to disband the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities (HUAC), played a major role in the opposition to Chicago Police "Red Squad" spying in the seventies, and most recently, helped facilitate the passage of the Chicago City Council Resolution against The Patriot Act.

The Bill of Rights Foundation (BORF) is a 501(c)3, not-for-profit foundation that supports the struggle against all activities that threaten the freedoms guaranteed in our Bill of Rights.
