Love, war and occasionally music break out as the mother of a Marine in Iraq, waits on the "Counter Men", all single, some vets, who frequent the LA restaurant where she works. The country's mood and its military entanglements, the frustrations of unemployment and sex are on the menu. "Counter Men" is poignant and prurient - - a play punctuated by song compliments of a counter man who uses his laptop as his orchestra. This new play, both timely and touching, exposes the fundamental truth that in the end - - love is the solution.
