Shirley Lauro
Drama
1m, 6f Unit Set
This is a powerful, true drama of six women who went to Vietnam: five nurses and a country western singer booked by an unscrupulous agent to entertain the troops. The play portrays each young woman before, during, and after her tour in the war-torn nation and ends as each leaves a personal token at the memorial wall in Washington. A Piece of My Heart premiered in New York at Manhattan Theatre Club, and now has enjoyed over 1000 productions here and abroad. It has recently been named "The most enduring play on Vietnam in the nation," by The Vietnam Vets Association. "There have been a number of plays dealing with Viet Nam, but none with the direct, emotional impact of Ms. Lauro's work."-The New York Times "Brought [the audience] to tears...and a standing ovation."-Variety "A riveting, rending dramatic experience."-Louisville Courier Journal FEE: $100 per performance. Other Shirley Lauro titles available from Samuel French include:The ContestI Don't Know Where You're Coming from at All! Nothing Immediate Open Admissions (Full Length) Open Admissions (One Act)
