The War Machine: A Play

A military veteran, saddled with debt and bored with civilian life, decides to return to Iraq under contract with a private military company. Shortly thereafter he's wounded in a I.E.D. blast and subsequent firefight with insurgents. During his time in the hospital recuperating, he begins to have second thoughts about rejoining the company and cutting out of his contract early. With pressures from all sides, he has no choice but return to Iraq to complete his contract. Spurred by fear and rage, his mind begins to spiral out of control until he commits a frightful act of violence.
