Stories from conflict zones across time and around the world are shared in a series of monologues in a new play by Paris-Based New Zealander Juliet O'Brien. She's working with Spanish theatre director Jorge Picó on In The Wars which is about to have its world premiere in Wellington. In the monologues she's looking at how war effects individuals, families and communities. We've waited a long time to see another of Juliet's plays here... the last one, The Letter Writer, was part of the 2010 New Zealand Arts Festival.
