The Vietnam Plays: Volume II: Streamers and The Orphan

In this volume, Streamers, the story of a group of paratroopers desperately attempting to cope with the chaos of their emotions when they are ordered to Vietnam, is paired with The Orphan, a brilliant synthesis of classic Greek drama and the conflicted character of contemporary America. War is not a political phenomenon but an elemental force, a human inevitability, like love or death, and Rabe's plays encompass it as such.David Rabe is the author of 'The Vietnam Plays: Volume II: Streamers and The Orphan', published 1994 under ISBN 9780802133458 and ISBN 0802133452.
