Synopsis: | Home Front is a play by Daniel Algie that reveals how the violence of distant war affects the heart of America. Euripides's Herakles is re-imagined as the unsettling homecoming of a Vietnam MIA. . .. The play takes place on the porch and in the front yard of a Midwest farmhouse during a summer's weekend in 1972. Harrison, an honorable Army corporal missing in action for seven years, has been declared dead by the military. His wife's attempt to deny official notification of her husband's death has led her to a nervous breakdown and hospitalization. Her father-in-law has offered shelter to his son's adored two young boys and their unstable mother. However, his dark view of his deceased wife and his missing son suggests an emotional disconnect laced with anger and despair. When Harrison unexpectedly comes down the dusty country road, we learn that he has been imprisoned and tortured by the Viet Cong. Ultimately repatriated, he has slipped away from a stateside Army hospital and brought his shattered spirit to his Midwestern home in hopes of making his ravaged soul whole again. | |||||
