For the first time ever, the Los Angeles Theatre Ensemble will produce all three plays from their epic, original undertaking, back to back to back. Acknowledging and embracing that war is more than shock and awe and the strategy on the battlefield, THE WAR CYCLE views war's effects on the American people on the most intimate of levels. Beginning with interviews with men and women wounded in battle, widows, and soldiers, the Ensemble has compiled years of research and development into a weekend of theatre that tells relevant, important, and emotional stories covering all aspects of war and its often messy aftermath. From politics to religion, from love to grief, from Afghanistan to the home front, this collection of plays poses difficult, divisive questions that are critical to the American experience of modern war. THE WAR CYCLE tells stories that affect its audiences in a way that should not be missed. THE WAR CYCLE opens August 19th at the Powerhouse Theatre and runs through September 11th.
