Gorgeous, gorgeous play that uses visual, verbal, and emotional juxtapositions to explore the depths of PTSD, war, and intergenerational trauma and conflict. The echoes of Leila and Johnny's experiences and the ways their experiences depart from one another present a human, nuanced, and intersectional portrait of war. The intimate, subtle conversations between father and daughter speak volumes. Many of the stage images--including the final moments--have stuck with me beyond my initial reading. I hope to see a full production of this!

A heartbreaking and incredibly powerful portrayal of the affects of war and the relationship between a father and daughter. Well done.

This script is one of the more honest depictions of the veteran experience. It’s easy to be distracted by the glamour of heroes in war... “War Heroes”. But there’s the reality of existing as a soldier that never actually goes away. Formby portrays this broken reality beautifully. The characters are fractured memories of the “heroes” we encounter every day. This is a play the needs to be produced- over And over again til the war stops.
