WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The History Of War is spun from the imagination of a 12 year old boy - a megalomaniac in training. As he struggles with homework assignments and peculiar visions, he conjures up seven of the most famous tyrants of all time. They did horrible things. He wants to do horrible things. His parents are worried. ...and everybody sings! ... well, almost everybody. Reality and pathology neatly converge in this terrifyingly subversive new musical.

We see this unfold through the first few songs as his mom, Claire (Liz Larsen), moves from Nebraska to Canada and meets Jane (Ann Harada) while singing in a folk choir. This connection unfolds organically with small gestures and quick, spontaneous smiles, and soon the two women are an item.
