Peterborough Players to Present Inspirational Play CRY HAVOC
After two years of paralysis from a high school sports injury. After six years in the United States Army. After a full blown transition into a classic case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, actor/veteran Stephan Wolfert succeeded and came out the other side to tell his story... and others.
Cry "Havoc!" features playwright Stephan Wolfert as himself, recounting his own experiences as a veteran and with the help of Shakespeare's most iconic speeches, leads us on an interactive journey to meet veterans and bring us face to face with one of the most vexing military - and civilian - problems of our time. The Boston Globe exclaimed that Wolfert "...commits himself body and soul... and the result is riveting."
"We are all connected to a military vet in some way and their issues are our issues, whether we like it or not," says the plays original director Eric Tucker. "You may enjoy Cry "Havoc!" as a piece of theatre and perhaps even as a tool for social awareness, but our hope is that it stays with you long after-- as a guide to identifying, appreciating, and nurturing the veterans of your own community."
