In this one act play set in the Vietnam war of 1972, TRAPPIST and MENSES, try to put up with one another in a stressful situation. As they talk the come to discover more than they want to know about one another. They fight their fear of being attacked by overwhelming forces until one of them shares that things are not as they appear. In a stunning revelation, reality warps and a historical form of justice comes to play.
While this is set in 1972 Vietnam, it has a timelessness about it and can be ported to other wars, other locations, other social agendas. The fourth wall is broken mid play allowing an interactive element. Using musical tones as sounds of war the play allows for a dampening of the effect of warfare in a theatre environment that loses little of the effect and offers a kind of hope.
