A new music theater piece, based upon the novel by Cara Hoffman, about a female veteran of the Iraq war, returning home to Watertown, New York. Re-entry is a disaster as Lauren Clay’s PTSD is slowly revealed, and she takes misguided action to protect her family from an enemy only she can see. In the end, she is saved by that family and the people who have always had her back at home, no matter how flawed they are. The story involves class struggle, as well as the struggle of this incredible soldier who is just trying to save everyone from a war she has to keep fighting.
