by
George Matry Masselam #2006-0032 ISBN #1-933159-82-0 The Cast
This play can be done multi-racially, and with varying genders. Act I of this play can also be performed independently as a one-act! Synopsis A U.S. Senator, an ultrasound technologist and recovered alcoholic from Arizona / Chicago, and a soldier in Iraq are three generations in a family. Not all are aware of the their kinship. There are too many lies between them, which leads to tragic results. This play explores self-deception, the omission of the truth, and addiction, which in this case leads inexorably to self-loathing and then self-destruction.The Setting The play has many scenes in various locations. The set is a bare stage with only a suggestion of the locations, costumes or props. Anita’s War is about Anita, Michael and the Senator—their relationships and the dialogue between them.
