Synopsis

Dealing with three Vietnam veterans who are recuperating in an Army hospital, PVT.WARS combines humor and compassion with uncompromising honesty as it follows the irreverent doings of its exceptionally engaging characters. Comprised of a series of brief blackout scenes, the play blends these into a meaningful mosaic as the three tease, torment, entertain, exasperate and, on occasion, solace each other, maintaining throughout a hilarity which belies their deep concern about the uncertainties of the civilian world to which they will soon be returning.

"deftly constructed, often very funny a true grasp on the absurdities of living" 
New York Times
