Synopsis
THE STORY: The action begins during the Revolutionary War, as a young man is summoned from the arms of his bride and sent off to fight for his new country.
But then, as the play shades into a brilliant and chilling fantasy, one war subtly merges into another-the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and finally Vietnam-as the soldier tires and ages, his youth slipping away, his bride still waiting patiently for his return.
In the end the play is not just about war-it is war.
And the soldier's final, dazed plea, Peace now?
Now?
will find the audience and actors as one in this last shocked, ironic moment.
