The intense, emotional, heartfelt and honest stories of men and women who have served their country are brought to life in this moving production. Without politicizing, the play paints a powerful portrait of soldiers' experiences in the ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ten gifted actors portray different people affected by the war, providing a voice not just for soldiers, but also mothers and other family members. Their diverse voices are united by the belief that the person standing beside you is more important than you are. Letters Home is inspired by the New York Times articles, The Things They Wrote and the subsequent HBO documentary, Last Letters Home.
