    At the height of the Vietnam War, Lori’s brother dodges the draft and her husband enlists. Left alone, she disappears into her imagination. Seduced by the comfort of her hallucinations, Lori risks giving over to her fantasy forever. A powerful look at love, family, trauma and healing, Jennifer Faletto’s play explores the impact of war for the loved ones on the homefront. Magical and heartfelt, Domestic Animals wakes our primal instincts and dares us to find our true pack.

    “…Faletto has created an engrossing, sympathetic journey through intense psychological trauma, from genesis to resolution.”
    -- Ben Demers, DC THEATRE SCENE

    “Playwright Jennifer Faletto provided a script that’s lean and lingering. There’s an alluring contrast between the sterile mental hospital and the untamed American wilderness that calls to Lori and her brother. The play is interested in adventures, foreign and domestic and intimate, and the sadness of the work creeps up on you. While there are no whistling bullets and no explosions, there’s a fight worth fighting in Domestic Animals.”
    -- Joseph Price, WASHINGTON CITY PAPER
