THE STORY: Tracing the legacy of war through three generations of a Puerto Rican family, the play focuses on nineteen-year-old Elliot, a recently anointed hometown hero who returns from Iraq with a leg injury and a difficult question: Will he go back to war a second time? While on leave, Elliot learns the stories of his father and grandfather who served in Korea and Vietnam before him.

"ELLIOT, A SOLDIER'S FUGUE is that rare and rewarding thing: a theatre work that succeeds on every level, while creating something newWithout ever invoking current politics, ELLIOT, A SOLDIER'S FUGUE, manages to be a deeply poetic, touching and often funny indictment of the war in Iraq." - NY Times. "In Quiara Alegria Hudes' intriguing new play, the title charactershares what it's like to be a Marine in IraqSimple, poignant and achingly evocative, these sequences are both utterly realistic and profoundly moving." - Time Out NY. "A lush and evocative tone poem about the way the landscape of the soul is transformed by war." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
