How does the experience of war affect the common soldier? What do veterans bring home from war? How are they treated when they return? These are just a few of the questions explored in the world premiere production of this new play by award-winning writer Ellen McLaughlin. Using Sophocles’ Ajax as a lens through which to view and interpret the current war, McLaughlin’s play combines ancient Greece and modern-day Iraq to grapple with these difficult and perplexing times.
