| Publisher Description: This collection includes two related one-act plays: DAUGHTER and SON. In DAUGHTER, a mother tries to reckon with injuries suffered by her daughter while serving in the U.S. military in Iraq. In SON, on the occasion of his sister's wedding, a man struggles with haunting flashbacks to the war and the bomb he dropped on a wedding party. "DAUGHTER is not only the best play of the five, but it's also the most accomplished. Medley writes about an African American mother dealing with the suicide of her daughter after she returns home from Iraq having her face blown off. DAUGHTER is a deep, uncompromising play about faith." -David Gordon, nytheatre.com |
