A critical musical play about intelligence failings
Baghdad - Najla Al Taee

A critical musical play about intelligence failings with hidden messages to US president Donald Trump is currently being played in New York. “My Baghdad” play is telling a real story about a dissident soldier known as “Corveball” whose allegations about the existence of nuclear weapons in Iraq were used as a cause to invade Iraq in 2003.

The story begins with spies gathering in the “CIA” headquarters in an attempt to understand the mistakes that have been haunting them for years, and the events move to Frankfurt Airport in Germany, where the secret informer offers to reveal Saddam Hussein’s secrets about biochemical weapons in exchange of political asylum. German intelligence and US intelligence analysts see in this information a quick promotion but all the events turn to tragedy after September 11 attacks, which started a war that still happening even after 14 years and with no mass destruction weapons.

The play rhythm is fast and combines between classical music and hip hop dances. The play producer, Charlie Fink says the events of the play apply to the current situation which is filled with wrong news and shifted facts and in time where a lot of people are afraid that Trump will make the US go into new war in Syria or North Korea. He added that, the play was first displayed in 2015 but this time it has a different theme.

The play’s premiere was in April 6, when Donald Trump issued orders to attack a Syrian air base with Tomahawk missiles in what was considered the first direct US military move against the Syrian regime. The play took 10 years of preparation and it includes 5 actors, 6 of them with leading roles. The play is competing against 10 other plays in Broadway, and it blames the United States in all its parts, and its Western allies for the Iraqi invasion in 2003.
 
Director, music composer, co-scriptwriter, Marshall Baylot referred to this play as an excellent way to make theatre lovers in New York to think about the Iraqi cause using comedy and music.
 
The play is being displayed on “St. Lucas” theatre near Square Times until June 18, but it doesn’t mock the war itself that killed 4500 US soldiers and about half million civilians since 2003
