A Patch of Earth: A Courtroom Drama about the Bosnian War

by Kitty Felde

Drazen Erdemovic is a 24 year old kid with a hip haircut and bad acne scars. He fought for three different armies during the Bosnian war and never killed anyone until the day he and his mates were sent to a cornfield near Srebrenica. He's haunted by the ghosts of those he killed and tries to free himself by telling his story to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.

Opening Line: Erdemovic!

[Kitty Felde · Rating 5 out of 5]

The play is based on actual testimony from the war crimes trials for the former Yugoslavia. It actually makes a mass murderer sympathetic. And helps explain what happened in Bosnia.
