Last Of The Boys
by Steven Dietz

"LAST OF THE BOYS is to the Vietnam war what Angels In America was to the AIDS crisis.” —Talkin' Broadway.   ”Dietz has conjured the 1960s and the war in Vietnam better than any playwright has managed to date. Ghosts appear and disappear in this play…and these ghosts are in many ways permanent residents in the bodies and psyches of those who fought in the war, as well as those who became its indirect casualties. Their presence creates a restless, burning, grief-stricken quality—but it doesn't prevent the eruption of great bursts of pitch black humor; comic explosions that detonate from time to time as if someone had just tripped over a forgotten hand grenade.“ —Chicago Sun-Times.   ”LAST OF THE BOYS is shattering, and its careful revelations and haunting imagery stick with you long after you leave the theater.“ —Windy City Times.   ”Steven Dietz's new play is passionate, funny, altogether a knockout. The indictment of the war in Vietnam is intense and deeply personal…but the play is not"
