"The urgent timeliness of Wounded is unmistakable … Recommended!."
LA Weekly: "GO!... quickly finds its target… the entire ensemble delivers strong performances."
Don Shirley, LA City Beat: "Wounded cuts much deeper than I expected…It’s the most wrenching play I’ve seen about our Iraqi misadventures – and there are only two weekends left in its announced run. Let me be a town crier."
Back Stage: "A deeply troubling play, delivered with intensity by a cast of involved, passionate actors, this is reality theatre, a document that doesn't presume to offer easy answers to the difficult questions it poses. But this production takes no prisoners. Strong language, deeply emotional situations, and visceral performances combine to make this a thinking and a feeling person's play."
Wounded will be presented in rep with the other plays in the War Cycle, Nation of Two, and The Gospel According to First Squad.
“GO! Displays unusual skill at articulating a family's shaky façade of icy normalcy, as it gives way to rage and despair.”
LA Times: "[Nation of Two] at the Powerhouse Theatre is not so much a play as it is an immersion...as urgent and immediate as a telegram from the war department. The taut and nicely rendered first act introduces us to the Harper family some months after their soldier son, Michael, has been killed in the line of duty...the core message of [Nation of Two] cannot be overemphasized.”
Nation of Two will be presented in rep with the other plays in the War Cycle, Wounded, and The Gospel According to First Squad.
On the brink of civilization in Eastern Afghanistan, deep in the deadly Korengal Valley, First Squad walks the tightrope between boredom and terror everyday. In a valley lit by firestorms of chaos, courage can be proved by a casual walk to the shitter. As First Squad navigates the human terrain, winning hearts and minds from the Taliban, a new addition to their team threatens their mission, the populace, and their dreams of home.
Gospel According to First Squad will take you on a tour of duty--as Americans--that will shine a light on our mission, our morals, and what we do--or don't do--to keep our freedom.
Gospel According to First Squad will be presented in rep with the other plays in the War Cycle, Wounded, and Nation of Two.
An epic American story of love and war...
For the first time, all three plays, back to back to back.
