Description
A young soldier goes to Afghanistan, another to Passchendaele. A family splits in two when a Protestant falls in love with a Catholic; one hundred and twenty years later, it could happen all over again for a whole new set of reasons.
From the University of Alberta’s inaugural Lee Playwright-in-Residence.
