The Unknown Soldier and His Wife
Peter Ustinov
Unknown Soldier, The
by Warren Frost
Synopsis
This play was chosen through a national competition to represent the United States in the International Amateur Theatre Festival at Monaco.
The time of the play is the Civil War and its theme, in a sense, is that the wars of yesterday must not become the wars of tomorrow.
An oddly assorted group of people are deeply injured by war.
Now, however, they're preparing a festive party with games and balloons for an "unknown soldier."
The young soldier arrives and, in the midst of a subtly developing strangeness and tension, he wonders why they're being so wonderful to him.
In a shocking ending, we discover the reason.
One int.
set.
