The twice-extended production, now running through June 28, "tells the story of three young Iraqis — two men and a woman — who are motivated by hope to go work for the Americans, until they begin to wonder who, if anyone, can be trusted. . . . [The play] explores the complex relationships among the Iraqis — and between them — and their American supervisor, against the backdrop of a war in which the hardest and most necessary thing turns out to be friendship."

Founded by Johnson in 2007, the List Project is a non-profit organization advocating for the U.S. resettlement of Iraqis endangered by their work assisting American organizations during the Iraq War.

Fellow List Project advocate Ehab Al-Kuttub will also be on hand for the post-performance discussion moderated by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, national editor of The Washington Post.

The Lucille Lortel-nominated production began previews Jan. 25 and opened at the Culture Project Feb. 6. In 2007 Packer penned an article for the New Yorker about Iraqis risking their lives to aid the American war effort. Packer then crafted those interviews into Betrayed. The drama marks his playwriting debut.

Waleed F. Zuaiter, Aadya Bedi, Christopher Kromer, Ramsey Faragallah, Sevan Greene, Ramiz Monsef and Eric Troy Miller star under the direction of Pippin Parker, co-artistic director of the Culture Project's "Democracy Project." The design team for Betrayed includes Garin Marschall (set and lighting design), Eric Shim (sound design) and Rabiah Troncelliti (costume design).
