A veteran soldier is helped by a female therapist to process his relationship to his service and the conflicting realities within.
VRTU-L, by acclaimed playwright TD Mitchell, plays with the blurred line between the realities of first-person shooter games, training exercises in military built Middle-eastern villages populated with actors playing “locals”, real locations in Iraq, and Virtual Reality (VR) versions of trauma environments used as PTSD therapy for veterans. It is at times disorienting and ridiculous, prone to shifting rules, technical issues like pixellation and buffering, and yet finds moments of honesty, intimacy and human longing. VRTU-L is the final play in her Veterans Trilogy, that includes Queens for a Year and Beyond the 17th Parallel.
Surprising, provocative and always engaging, the Rough Reading Series is a monthly staged reading festival in its 11th year in which we bring a promising new play to light in an intimate setting.
Through May 2017, seven exceptional new works will be read that push into new theatrical territory, challenge assumptions, and present deeply felt dilemmas within our culture and world society.
The Rough Readings will always be Pay What You Can.
