Marine Captain Elaine Edwards has just returned from her latest tour in Afghanistan but this time things are different; home doesn’t feel right and nothing makes sense. After a blow up fight with her husband propels her to skip town, she undertakes an Odyssean journey through the American landscape battling her monsters, trying to find her way home.

A beautiful tribute to the women who fight our wars and the demons that follow them home. Well done.

I had the pleasure of seeing this in production at Artists Repertory Theater. The contemporary and the classic blend seamlessly in a script that pivots effortlessly between the fantastical and natural, drama and humor, as well as intimate and universal.
