By Shirley Lauro

The voices of women who served in Vietnam get heard in this play. The experiences of six women (three nurses, one USO entertainer, one Red Cross worker and one intelligence officer) before, during and after the war are vividly played out here through compelling performances and minimal staging. Among several suitcases that serve as everything from airplane seats to wounded patients, the stories unspool. We hear how each woman decides to go to Vietnam. Once they arrive in the country their dreams of storybook service are shattered by the harrowing realities of war and how they struggle to make sense of a war that changed them forever.
