Wounded by Kerry Kazmierowicztrimm

WOUNDED tells the story of a woman who is the full-time caregiver for her husband after he has been severely mentally and physically injured in the Iraq war. It explores her struggle to find a balance between her own wants/needs and those of her husband, while putting the spotlight on some of the people affected by war whose stories aren't often told.

    “ I had the pleasure of seeing the award-winning premiere of this play, it's a special piece. Pain is a difficult theme to manifest dramatically and this play is a clinic on that idea - the travels from anguish to healing and back again are gut-wrenching yet uplifting in a delightfully theatrical way. ”
