THE STORY: Two American war veterans, mutilated in a firefight in Iraq, find their way home from a military hospital in Germany in a harrowing and hilarious road trip that includes an illegal arms dealer, an Asian pimp, prostitutes with special skills, a wife, a fellow war vet, a lunatic born-again longhaul trucker and finally, in Crawford, Texas, their Commander in Chief, whom they thank and offer a plan to win the war.
"Michael Weller approaches a painful subject from an unusual perspective in his new play, BEAST, a macabre drama
forsakes documentary realism - the staple aesthetic for much theater about the current conflict - in favor of something more adventurous
pungently written
grimly comic." - NY Times. "
a surreal combination of
Frankenstein and
Of Mice and Men
[a] striking approach." - NY Post.
