This is a play about Dave Milne (an immigrant, military school
survivor/victim, Ivy League graduate, Naval officer, 10% disabled
veteran, dissident philosopher and much more) adapted by his son,
from recordings made of Dave in the last six months of his life.
The play travels from a fairly normal childhood until age 12, to
being sent off to a fancy military boarding school and being
literally tortured and ostracized by the children of the rich (and
sometimes famous), his classmates. Then he went on to Columbia
University, to participate in NROTC, got married, eventually went
to Vietnam, had a mental collapse after returning home and just
three months later, he became a parent. Dave then had to struggle
in the civilian economy to try to support his family. While the
play is generally tragic, there is a fairly large amount of humor
(dark and otherwise) along the way and Dave even breaks into song
once. While Dave might not always be a sympathetic character, his
take on life is one of a kind. This anecdote filled play shows Dave
in virtually the whole range of human emotions.
