X-Ray is about the detention of David Hicks, one of two alleged illegal combatant held in Cuba since the U.S. led invasion of Afghanistan. The Hicks character tells of growing up in Adelaide, the appeal and his study of Islam, and how he came to find himself bearing arms in Afghanistan.
More Information
Hicks is portrayed as a larrikin character who found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and who has been poorly treated by the Australian government, the only one of forty-one nations whose citizens are detained which has not protested at their detention, which is itself not in accord with The Geneva Convention of 1949.
X-Ray was presented at the 2004 Adelaide Fringe Festival. Featuring Nathan O'Keefe as Hicks.
