Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun

Sleepless Theatre Company presents Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun at the 9th annual New York International Fringe Festival. Based on “Hollywood Ten” writer Dalton Trumbo’s 1939 novel and adapted for the stage by Bradley Rand Smith, Johnny Got His Gun is the inspiring story of twenty-year-old Joe Bonham, the boy-next-door sent off to war and grievously wounded. Cut off from the physical world, Joe has nothing left but his mind, imagination, and memory as he comes to terms with his new existence and the human cost of war.

“Is [Johnny Got His Gun] memorable, thought-provoking and strangely life-affirming? Yes. Is it worth a visit? Absolutely.” — Sacramento News and Review
