Description Two one act plays: "Citizens" is set in at the dividing wall of an unspecified war-torn country. Over the course of the play, the fragility and nobility of the human spirit at its most vulnerable is carefully probed and laid bare.
"Soldiers" has been specially commissioned for the STC Actors Company as a companion piece to "Citizens". Set in an echoing Air Force hangar, family members gather to receive the bodies of their sons...brothers...and friends lost in an unspecified conflict abroad. The initial connection they share is the battle that claimed their loved ones.
