Mogadishu, 1993. Paul is a Canadian photojournalist who is about to
take a picture that will win him the Pulitzer Prize. Princeton, the
present day, Dan is an American writer who is struggling to finish
his play about ghosts. Both men live worlds apart but a chance
encounter over the airwaves sparks an extraordinary friendship that
sees them journey from some of the most dangerous places on earth
to the depths of the human soul.Flying from Kabul to the Canadian
High Arctic, The Body of an American sees two actors jump between
more than thirty roles in an exhilarating new form of documentary
drama. It urgently places these two men's battles - both public and
private -against a backdrop of some of the world's most iconic
images of war. The Body of an American is the recipient of the 2013
Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History. It
also received the PEN Center USA Award for Drama and the L. Arnold
Weissberger Award, and premiered at Portland Center Stage in 2012,
directed by Bill Rauch. The play was the recipient of the McKnight
National Residency & Commission from the Playwrights' Center,
as well as a Sundance Institute Time Warner Storytelling Fellowship
and a TCG Future Collaborations Grant. For further information and
