Unit Set

This fierce new drama by the author of Talking With , Anton in Show Business and Keely and Du redefines patriotism as it brings the tragic fallout from the war in Iraq home to America's heartland. When a grieving father inverts our nation's most revered symbol, the family is swept into the vortex of a chaotic war machine. Portrayed in the press as both 'heroes with a cause' and 'enemies of the state,' they become embedded in a bitter struggle for their very survival. Jane Martin gives voice to the white-hot rage and sorrow of our time, delivering a shock-and-awe display of theatrical force.

"...a powerful gut-punch of a play, blisteringly contemporary."- Minneapolis Pioneer Press

"Powerfully mines heartbreak, loss, and disillusion to universalize the Iraq war. Brave, deeply compassionate, and, most importantly, very good drama."-Minneapolis City Pages
