WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
"What is it like to be dead? More beautiful than anything you can imagine."
The Soldier Dreams is an emotionally rich drama. David's family is gathered by his bed at home as he lies in a coma and dreams of his secret life. His two sisters, Tish and Judy, his brother-in-law, Sam, and his partner Richard wrestle with emotions --and sometimes each other--as they struggle to come to terms with losing David. What would he want? They all come up with the same answer: "If David had his way we'd all be dancing."

RE:

A man lies dying, surrounded by his closest relatives in Daniel MacIvor's The Soldier Dreams, being presented by Theatre East at the Lion Theatre. The play contains some elegantly written passages, but unfortunately director Judson Jones tends towards the overly sentimental in the production, which in many ways seems at odds with the tone of MacIvor's actual play.
The central figure within the work is David, performed by two actors -- one who is bedridden and mostly silent (Nick Cianfrogna), and another who is more of a ghost, a memory, or even a dream (Bryan Jarrett). Attending to David is his long-time partner, Richard (Denny Lawrence), his sisters Judy (Christa Kimlicko Jones) and Tish[...]
