        About the Script:
        How far would YOU go to defend your family? Clay Stilts desires to
fortify his house in preparation for both a new baby and the apocalypse
he's convinced is just around the corner. His obsessions are sidetracked
when a slowly escalating battle with a neighbor who refuses to curb his dog
explodes in an impulsive act of violence. In one reckless moment, Clay's
world spins out of control, becoming a microcosm for a global struggle
against threats to our security, both real and imagined.

*"Pelfrey is undeniably talented ... a gripping, funny play."* -Los Angeles
Times

*"Matt Pelfrey's galvanizing black comedy resembles those nightmares that
nag at one's psyche the following day - too off-kilter to accept as
reality, yet infused with imagery too haunting to dismiss ... Pelfrey's
thought-provoking work is mesmeric from the first moment to the last."*
 -Backstage

*"Pelfrey has a gift for oddball concepts and sardonic dialogue." -Variety *

*"A brilliant little bulletin from the paranoia frontier."* -L A City Beat

            Already Cast Roles: Ben - Robert Branch
                                             Salyer - Rachel Lee Kolis
                                             Lorraine - Anne McEvoy

Salyer's boyfriend.*

      About the Script:
       Ben and Jeeter fought in Vietnam, and for thirty years they have
remained united by a war that divided the nation. Joined by Jeeter's new
girlfriend and her off-the-grid whiskey-drinking mother, these friends
gather at Ben's remote trailer for one final hurrah at the turn of the New
Millennium.  As the night deepens, the past makes a return appearance, and
its many ghosts come flickering to life. This is a fierce, funny, haunting
play about a friendship that ends and a war that does not.

*"Last of the Boys is to the Vietnam war what Angels In America **was to
the AIDS crisis."* *—Talkin' Broadway*.

*"Dietz has conjured the 1960s and the war in Vietnam better than any
playwright has managed to date. Ghosts appear and disappear in this
play…and these ghosts are in many ways permanent residents in the bodies
and psyches of those who fought in the war, as well as those who became its
indirect casualties. Their presence creates a restless, burning,
grief-stricken quality—but it doesn't prevent the eruption of great bursts
of pitch black humor; comic explosions that detonate from time to time as
if someone had just tripped over a forgotten hand grenade."* *—Chicago
Sun-Times*.

*"Last of the Boys is shattering, and its careful revelations and haunting
imagery stick with you long after you leave the theater."* *—Windy City
Times*.

 *"Steven Dietz's new play is passionate, funny, altogether a knockout. The
indictment of the war in Vietnam is intense and deeply personal…but the
play is not a soapbox rant. LAST OF THE BOYS is about the way the past
creates the present and the present repeats the past. The final image of
Ben ironing an American flag is wrenching. If only we could get the
wrinkles out."* *—Philadelphia City Paper*.
