Commissioned by Lincoln Center Theater, and presented this past fall in London at the National Theatre, Blood and Gifts
tells the story of the secret spy war behind the official Soviet-Afghan
War of the 1980s. Spanning a decade and playing out in Washington DC,
Pakistan, and Afghanistan, the play follows CIA operative Jim Warnock as
he struggles to stop the Soviet Army's destruction of Afghanistan. The
ground constantly shifts for Jim and his counterparts in the KGB and
British and Pakistani secret service as the political and personal
alliances between the men keeps changing. And as the outcome of the
entire Cold War comes into play, Jim and a larger-than-life Afghan
warlord find the only person they can trust is each other. Blood and Gifts
tells the story of the unknown men who shaped one of the greatest
historical events of recent history, the repercussions of which continue
to shape our world.
