'Heart' play was the most moving thing ever
To the Editor:
Last night I had the pleasure of watching the most moving live performance "“ ever! ARTS/West hosted Actors Moveable Theater's production of "œA Piece of My Heart." Written by Shirley Lauro and directed by Carol Patterson, it told the story of five female Vietnam era nurses, one female entertainer, and a lone male "“ who represented everyman.
They all went to war as teenagers and emerged a few years later, physically beaten and emotionally drained, mature but broken human beings. It followed their lives through the war and the aftermath, showing the difficulties they had re-entering a society that condemned them for being soldiers.
As someone who knew of the war through television and newspaper accounts, I found that it was a sobering event, bringing home the pain they suffered and the indignities they endured during the war and after. For all those who were involved in this or other wars in some way, or even if you weren't "“ if you didn't go see this moving play, you really missed something.
