War letters are intensely emotional, sometimes comical, always heartfelt and honest. In this poignant play, actors bring to life the true stories of American soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Letters Home takes no overtly political stand. Instead, it creates powerful portraits of the men and women who serve their country and the families they leave behind, including a teenager traumatized by ambush; a Marine frightened by a baby camel; a mother awaiting her son's return; a devoted father writing to his newborn.

"Thoughtfully conceived, quietly elegant . . . compelling." - Chicago Daily Herald
