An Exploration of the Cost of War

A San Diego Premiere

9 Circles by Bill Cain is a searing, thought-provoking drama inspired by actual events. Following a young American soldier discharged from the Army and tried for crimes committed in Iraq, the play traces his journey through nine different encounters echoing “Dante’s Inferno” and descending into Hell. At once an indictment of war and an exploration of personal responsibility, Cain’s play strips away the rhetoric of patriotism and the machinery of the military-industrial complex to reveal the raw, uncomfortable truth of one man’s actions. Staged in San Diego, a city with deep military roots, this production resonates with urgency for American audiences reckoning with the human costs of endless war and the unseen burdens carried by those who serve.
