War Stories

Set in New York City during World War II, the new drama presents a coming-of-age story through Ruth, a young, pro-war musician from a working-class, immigrant family whose perspective is challenged by Nat, who holds anti-war views and comes from a wealthy, industrial Jewish family. Through their journeys, the play delves into workers’ struggles and labor action, racism, antisemitism, the ethics of war, and conscientious objection.
