Synopsis
The world is a hard place for a returning war veteran.
Lucky for Luther, he’s been adopted by a couple of caring urbanites, Walter and Marjorie.
A darkly comic examination of America’s uneasy relationship with our veterans that begs the question: Who is more detached from reality, the soldier or those he is protecting?
Press Reviews
"Critic’s Pick! “The play oozes with a moral ambiguity that will stick to your bones and your conscience long after you’ve left the theater."
— The New York Times
