Love in the DMZ at Teatro Paraguas

Teatro Paraguas will present a live Zoom production of Love in the DMZ, by Julia Cameron. Written in 2014, the play is a series of letters between a husband (played by Nick Kapustinsky) serving as a commander in Viet Nam, and his wife (Ali Tallman) back home in the States. Duchess Dale directs this saga which chronicles the slow unravelling of the relationship strained by the distance, uncertainty, anguish, and danger of the situation, and the grim attempts to ward off despair and keep their fragile lifeline intact through love. In spite of their efforts, events and other people seem to conspire to sabotage their connection. The letters themselves, paper-thin and fragile, symbolize the cost of war and the emotional and psychic toll it levies on human beings.
