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, The Year That Trembled.
The young men must examine their views of war andconsider 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.
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 & the ability to forgive, of characters who are at war within themselves.
