Rendition Monologues weaves together the first-hand testimonies of victims of extraordinary rendition; the kidnapping and illegal transfer of terrorism suspects and others considered to be implicated in the 'War on Terror' to be interrogated in nation states with a reputation for torture. A long list of nations, including the UK, have colluded in these rendition flights. As the truth begins to filter out about this issue, we hope that Rendition Monologues can contribute to a full reckoning ove
