“The Birthday Boys”
Written by Aaron Kozak

EXTENDED- THEATRE ASYLUM’S BEST OF FRINGE
Thursdays – Sundays, September 16 – October 3, 2010 at 8:00pm

August 11, 2010 – Insurgents capture three U.S. Marines during an unheard-of infiltration of the Al Asad green zone, regarded as one of the safest bases in Iraq, At a remote warehouse, bound and blindfolded, the three soldiers must struggle with fear, betrayal and even boredom, leaving morale and humor their only allies against an uncertain fate.
Tense, hilarious, and frequently heart-wrenching, “The Birthday Boys” keeps us guessing on the edge our seats, as we barrel towards a shocking climax. A non-partisan play about honor and redemption, “The Birthday Boys” is the biggest surprise of this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival.

WINNER – Hollywood Fringe First Award (world premiere) 2010
