A powerful, unsettling and ultimately devastating account of the Vietnam War, written (and first performed) by men who were there
Successfully presented in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and London by the Vietnam Veterans Ensemble Theatre Company, the play evokes both a sense of the horror and futility of war itself, and a renewed awareness of the misguided, if well-meant, policies which allowed a "police action" to escalate into a trauma which divided the nation
"This is an evening in the theater you should not miss - both as a theatregoer and as a person" NY Post
"...a jivey, at times funny, language that combines timeless military lingo with rock 'n' rock cadences, drug jargon, pidgin Vietnamese and English, and an almost surreal litany of profanity" NY Times
