When U.S. Marine Jenny Sutter returns from Iraq, she lays down her
rifle but isn't ready to pick up her children. Buying some time,
Jenny takes a one-way trip to a misfit desert community called Slab
City, where its kind residents gently nurture her wounded spirit,
and nudge her back to her own humanity.
Dramatic Comedy Characters: 3 males, 1 females WINNER! 2009 Ted
Schmitt Award for the world premiere of an Outstanding New Play -
Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Orange County, California, 1975.
For Walter Wells, it's the happiest place on earth. He has a
beautiful wife. Two great kids. A house with a pool. Contentment.
Until fate strikes a devastating blow, leaving Walter with no
reason to put the pieces of his life back together. He resists
attempts to help, especially the unexpected - and unwanted - offer
from a Vietnamese refugee named Bao Ngo, who bears his own sadness.
Then, across a cultural divide, Walter and Bao find a game to
share, a song, a meal and then a way back in this uplifting - and
surprisingly funny - new play by a rising star in American theatre.
"Wry and affecting...Myatt's characters are so engaging that it's
easy to push them toward comedy, which tends to reassure rather
than surprise us." -Los Angeles Times "...Understated power of this
gentle yet gripping dramedy...The most impressive element of
Myatt's new work is the dexterous way she elicits emotional
resonance by giving the human frailties of the characters a weight
equal to their innate compassion and goodness. Subtly depicting the
overwhelmingly difficult process of mourning and letting go, Myatt
leavens the tragedy without blunting its significance." -Backstage
