Savages at the Lion Theatre

Back House Productions presents the world Premiere of Savages, by Anne Nelson, opening at Theatre Row's Lion Theatre on the 9 Mar 2006, following a preview on the 8 Mar and running through to the 1 Apr 2006.

Savages is a play about war and its consequences, for both victors and victims - exploring the narrow distance between the two. It is set inn the midst of the Philippine - American Conflict in 1902, a war that was a defining moment for the Philippines but has been almost forgotten in the United States. The play explores the situation through the eyes of four characters: the general currying favor with Washington; the Marine major on trial for war crimes; the green young recruit; and the Filipina who is their most human contact to an alien environment.

Casting, technical staff, and complete performance schedule to be announced at a future date
