JAN CHAPPELL ON CAPITOL HILL, 6 APRIL 2006

I just had a call from a very excited Jan Chappell to let me know that she's
about to fly off to Washington to take part in a reading of the drama
documentary 'Guantanamo: Honor Bound to Defend Freedom by Victoria Brittain and
Gillian Slovo which was originally staged at London's Tricycle Theatre, and then
transferred to the New Ambassadors in the West End. This is a 90 minute edited
and updated version of the production and was recently presented in the Houses
of Parliament in February 2006.

Jan and the rest of the cast have been invited to Washington to present
'Guantanamo' in the Rayburn House Office Building, The House of Congress,
Capitol Hill, Washington DC. The reading has been sponsored by Congress
Representatives Jan Schakowsky and John Conyers along with the Center for
Constitutional Rights. You can read more about this at

I'm sure you'll all join us at Horizon in wishing Jan and the cast well with the
presentation and if any of our American readers are able to video anything about
this on their local news channels, I'd certainly love a copy. (Yes, my VCR can
play NTSC videos!)
