Be Safe I Love You is an original music theater piece based on the novel by Cara Hoffman, with book by Darrah Cloud and music and lyrics by Stephanie Salzman. The story follows Lauren Clay, a soldier who has returned unexpectedly to her upstate New York home from Iraq carrying invisible but very real wounds. The devastation of her combat experiences drives her to take a misguided action to protect her family from an enemy only she can see. The work is presented as part of Ancram Center for the Arts' Play Lab series, which supports the development of new theater projects through residencies culminating in work-in-progress showings.
