Drums in the Night

by Bertolt Brecht, directed by Sarah Wansley

@ Forum Theatre
November 6-17, 2013

Brecht wrote Drums in the Night as a young man scarred by his experiences as a medic in World War I. Director Sarah Wansley's update tells the story of Kragler, an Iraq war veteran with severe PTSD intensified by his experiences as a POW. It's the increasingly familiar modern story of the soldier who makes the ultimate sacrifice for his country only to find that when he comes home it no longer feels like home. Wansley sees her version as a deeply disturbing nightmare. "I aim to put on stage the ugliest and most frightening parts of the culture I have grown up loving."
