Recipient of the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression award, Palace of The End is a three-part monologue inspired by the Iraqi wars. Thompson illustrates the crucial moments of each war, including Lynndie England’s public vitriol after photos emerged of her torturing Iraqi prisoners of war in 2004, the suicide of David Kelly, and the tragic tale of Nehrjas Saffarh.
