I love to read a play which highlights a story from history which is not that well documented. This is a touching piece, a memory stirred from an old photograph, memories both happy and frightening. In 1974 I was the same age as Grace's uncle in this play, so would not have remembered it, but her mother clearly looks back at the event with happiness, for her own mother made it seem like a fun holiday to protect her from conflict, as we do with the youth.
A very nice short play!
