Description
A darkly comic, sharply satirical play about violence, masculinity, and the people who are left in its wake. At its center is Wanda June, a young girl in heaven after a tragic accident, whose perspective illuminates the strange contrast between those who glorify killing and those who reject it. As earthly and heavenly voices intersect, the play questions heroism, war, family, and the stories people tell to justify brutality. With his characteristic blend of absurdity, wit, and moral seriousness, Vonnegut delivers an unconventional antiwar work that is both playful and provocative.
