American Tet
Lydia Stryk
Flags
by Jane Martin
Synopsis
This fierce new drama by the author of Talking With , Anton in Show Business , and Keely and Du redefines patriotism as it brings the tragic fallout from the war in Iraq home to America's heartland.
When a grieving father inverts our nation's most revered symbol, the family is swept into the vortex of a chaotic war machine.
Portrayed in the press as both 'heroes with a cause' and 'enemies of the state,' they become embedded in a bitter struggle for their very survival.
Jane Martin gives voice to the white-hot rage and sorrow of our time, delivering a shock-and-awe display of theatrical force.
