Know any good plays about the Iraq War?
In the Orange County Register's Arts Blog, Paul Hudgins reckons that David Hare's *Stuff Happens* is the only really high-quality Iraq War play so far, but that plays respond to political events much more quickly than movies and that Bill Cain and Howard Korder uncorked a couple of good new plays at the Pacific Playwrights Festival.

What about BLACK WATCH? or BUG? even FROST/NIXON could be said to be the unofficial trial of George W. Bush. Not neccessarily about the American or soldier's experience. But circumstances surrounding the war for sure.
There's a play called 'Dying City' I saw recently. It was pulitzer prize nominated. The play itself isn't terribly well-written but the subject matter is interesting. (A soldier who's views of the war and himself change dramatically on a 2nd deployment to Iraq.)
