“…provokes a visceral response…It is brilliant theatre.” The Age

“It is exemplary political theatre-making of a rare intelligence and power:
neither didactic nor exploitative, appealing neither to sentiment nor special
pleading, it reveals its argument with a devastating visceral impact which left
the first night audience stunned into silence.” Alison Croggon,

"Honour Bound is shatteringly good." Sydney Morning Herald

"THIS is an extraordinarily passionate and powerful piece of theatre,
an assault on all the senses." The Australian

"Extraordinary theatre on every level – a must see for all Australians."
Dick Smith

BEHIND THE GATES OF GUANTANAMO. INTO THE WORLD OF DAVID HICKS.

Through a fusion of dance, film, theatre and aerial performance - set inside a
towering metal cage - Honour Bound leads us on a deeply human experience
of incarceration at Guantanamo Bay through the eyes of David Hicks’ parents,
Bev and Terry.

Terry’s moving testimony combined with letters, internal Pentagon papers and
the accounts of former detainees expose the cost to human dignity and our
human rights in the relentless pursuit for national security.

"The UN Declaration of Human Rights and the Geneva Conventions were
written up with very strong input from Australia in 1948-49 after the worst
atrocities the world had ever seen…and there was a pledge made that the
world should never descend to that point again. (Honour Bound) is not just
about the individual case, it’s about where you draw the line." Nigel Jamieson
