From the Tony award winning playwright that brought us Hurlyburly and Casualties of War, Streamers is a brutal expose of racism, homophobia, and chauvinism in the U.S. Armed Forces. Streamers is set in August 1965 at Fort Lee, Virginia. In the next 12 months, the United States will deploy more than 100,000 soldiers to Vietnam. We enter a desolate Army barracks and meet the hopes and fears of a group of disparate young recruits as they nervously wait for their transfer orders that would send them to Vietnam. Thrusting the characters into a purgatory-like existence where death and violence are imminent, David Rabe's savage play crackles with the anger, fear, and confusion of a group of young men threatened by forces beyond their control. |
