- Book Synopsis
- An inspiring and often poignant collection of plays written in the era of the Vietnam War, from some of the most revered American playwrights, reflecting on the social and political ethos of a pivotal moment for America. The plays included in this volume are: Streamers by David Rabe Botticelli by Terrence McNally How I Got That Story by Amlin Gray Medal of Honor Rag by Tom Cole Moonchildren by Michael Weller Still Life by Emily Mann Strange Snow by Stephen Metcalfe 'All the important lessons of Vietnam are here in this fine and varied collection of plays, in forms that enable the lessons to be felt and understood totally with the heart and soul, as well as with the mind… The playwright becomes more important than the historian, for in no other war of our history was the private word more important than the public pronouncement.' James Reston, Jr., from the Introduction
