Press Reviews
"Winner of a 1981 Obie Award for Playwriting. This stunningly original black comedy sums up the incongruity and tragedy of our experience in Vietnam. “…an explosion of young talent—and a bracing demonstration of what such talent can do when everything goes right.” —The New York Times. “Wildly funny, yet chronicling the horror and devastation of the war, HOW I GOT THAT STORY is a stunning theatrical achievement…” —The Hollywood Reporter. “…a bitterly funny and affecting piece of work.” —New York Daily News. ”…makes splendid use of that precious theatrical asset, the playgoer's imagination."
