Shrapnel in the Heart
May 2021
|
The play, directed by Claire Gordon, was based on Laura Palmer’s book SHRAPNEL IN THE HEART: Letters and Remembrances from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The play opened with cast members milling around the Memorial Wall, touching the engraved names of their loved ones. An Army Colonel in his VFW uniform then approaches the U.S. Flag, salutes, and sets the mood of the play by saying, “The peace of this memorial belies the terrible hell of mud and fire where you fell.”
