Michael Weller

Published by Dramatists Play Service

5 Male 2 Female

Two American war veterans, mutilated in a firefight in Iraq, find their way home from a military hospital in Germany

Their harrowing and hilarious road trip includes an illegal arms dealer, an Asian pimp, prostitutes with special skills, a wife, a fellow war vet, a lunatic born-again longhaul trucker and finally, in Crawford, Texas, their Commander in Chief, whom they thank and offer a plan to win the war

"Michael Weller approaches a painful subject from an unusual perspective forsaking documentary realism - the staple aesthetic for much theater about the current conflict - in favor of something more adventurous ... pungently written ... grimly comic" ~ NY Times

" ... a surreal combination of Frankenstein and Of Mice and Men ... a striking approach" ~ NY Post
