<div>Both a love story and a wartime chronicle, this powerful
play reveals the effects of the Vietnam War on a group of
friends living in a small town in Northeast Ohio. The play
opens in September of 1970, four months after the shootings at
nearby Kent State of May 4, 1970, and months before the
Vietnam War draft lottery of 1971. The script is based on
Lax's novel, <i>The Year That Trembled</i>, which was also
made into a feature film.<br>
</div>

</div>
<div>The young men must examine their views of war and consider
the fate that awaits them; the young women and other
townspeople face the possibility of losing their husbands,
boyfriends and friends. Each member of the group embarks on a
personal search that will bring very real and very adult
conflict and pain and strip away their youthful naivete.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As the play hurtles toward life-changing consequences, the
enormity of this war contrasted with the microcosm of one
small town exposes the desires, the betrayals, the loves and
the ability to forgive, of characters who are at war within
themselves.<br>
